In spite of the enormous growth of the Mail Order business of 

 late years, there may be some who have never tried it. To any 

 such we would say that the experience of millions has shown 

 that BUYING BY LETTER, FROM ANY FIRST-CLASS HOUSE, IS AS 

 SAFE, AS SURE, AND YOU \V1L,1, BE AS HONESTLY TREATED, AS 

 IF YOU STOOD IN THE STORE AND HANDED YOUR MONEY OVER 



THE COUNTER. There are many such houses in the United 

 vStates. Of course, some have better facilities than others ; and 

 there is an advantage in sending mail orders to houses like onrs 

 who make a specialty of the mail order business.

Cash should always accompany the order. We will be 

 responsible for money sent to us by Post Office Order, Express 

 Money Order, Bank Draft, Express or by Registered

All Vegetable and Flower Seeds by 



the packet, ounce, pound, pint or quart

 only to enclose with the order the price of 

 the seeds as given in this catalogue, and 

 they will be safeh' delivered to you, neatly

 tem places our store at your very door, 

 and enables customers thousands of miles 

 away to obtain their supplies as cheaply 

 as if they called in person at our store.
