  In 
  presenting 
  our 
  Annual 
  "Wholesale 
  Price 
  List 
  of 
  Seeds 
  in 
  Bulk 
  

  

  for 
  1891, 
  we 
  can 
  assure 
  our 
  customers 
  that 
  our 
  crops 
  of 
  the 
  past 
  year 
  are 
  

   very 
  satisfactory 
  both 
  in 
  quantity 
  and 
  quality, 
  and 
  that 
  our 
  unremitting 
  care 
  

   in 
  the 
  past, 
  in 
  the 
  growth, 
  selection 
  and 
  improvement 
  of 
  our 
  Seeds 
  has 
  been 
  in 
  no 
  

   way 
  abated. 
  On 
  the 
  other 
  hand 
  we 
  have 
  added 
  to 
  our 
  already 
  extensive 
  

   facilities 
  for 
  producing 
  Seeds 
  of 
  the 
  best 
  quality, 
  a 
  farm 
  of 
  over 
  two 
  hundred 
  

   acres, 
  which 
  is 
  devoted 
  exclusively 
  to 
  the 
  production 
  of 
  Stock 
  Seeds, 
  that 
  

   is, 
  Seeds 
  from 
  which 
  those 
  we 
  offer 
  to 
  our 
  customers 
  are 
  grown. 
  This 
  farm 
  is 
  

   under 
  our 
  own 
  personal 
  supervision, 
  and 
  no 
  labor 
  or 
  expense 
  is 
  spared 
  to 
  

   bring 
  our 
  stocks 
  to 
  the 
  highest 
  possible 
  standard 
  of 
  purity 
  and 
  quality. 
  Those 
  

   seeds 
  not 
  adapted 
  to 
  this 
  State 
  we 
  have 
  grown 
  for 
  us, 
  as 
  usual, 
  from 
  carefully 
  

   selected 
  Stocks, 
  by 
  experienced 
  growers 
  in 
  different 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States, 
  

   Canada 
  and 
  Europe. 
  All 
  these 
  crops 
  are 
  also 
  carefully 
  inspected 
  by 
  us, 
  and 
  

   samples 
  from 
  the 
  stock 
  Seeds 
  used 
  are 
  planted 
  and 
  examined 
  on 
  our 
  own 
  trial 
  

   grounds, 
  while 
  the 
  crops 
  themselves 
  are 
  being 
  produced. 
  

  

  Our 
  prices 
  are 
  as 
  low 
  as 
  any 
  Seeds 
  of 
  equal 
  quality 
  can 
  be 
  afforded. 
  We 
  

   again 
  refer 
  dealers 
  to 
  our 
  motto, 
  viz.: 
  THE 
  BEST 
  IS 
  ALWAYS 
  THE 
  

   CHEAPEST. 
  

  

  While 
  we 
  exercise 
  the 
  greatest 
  care 
  to 
  supply 
  every 
  article 
  true 
  to 
  name 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  

   very 
  lest 
  quality, 
  we 
  wish 
  it 
  distinctly 
  understood 
  that 
  the 
  success 
  of 
  a 
  crop 
  is 
  

   dependent 
  upon 
  so 
  many 
  contingencies, 
  such 
  as 
  conditions 
  of 
  soil 
  and 
  climate, 
  mode 
  

   of 
  planting, 
  etc., 
  that 
  ice 
  cannot 
  warrant 
  our 
  Seeds 
  nor 
  hold 
  ourselves 
  liable 
  or 
  

   responsible 
  for 
  any 
  loss 
  or 
  damage 
  arising 
  from 
  any 
  failure 
  thereof. 
  If 
  our 
  Seeds 
  

   are 
  not 
  accepted 
  on 
  these 
  terms, 
  they 
  must 
  be 
  returned 
  at
