America has ever made half so good a | For the next ten largest clubs, each —_ 5.00 
record, it Surpasses anything heretofore | To compete for these prizes, club raisers 
known in the seed trade. This list of prize 
winners took up three solid pages of my 
1901 catalogue, but I cannot repeat it here 
in my Silver Anniversary Book for want 
of room. I mention the fact, however, in 
order to impress upon the readers of this 
book that I have paid out in the last 
twenty years asum of money not equalled 
by any two houses in the mail order seed 
business, which amount, with the pre- 
miums paid in 1901, approximates a sum 
amounting to almost $30,000. 
For 1902, as stated above, I shall con- 
tinue to offer the same amount in cash 
club prizes as last year. Iam very glad 
to be able to call the attention of my cus- 
tomers to the fact that the clubs recived 
in 1901 were very satisfactory, in fact, the 
largest I ever received in this competi- 
tion, and I trust 1902 will make equally as 
good a record. Previous to last year the 
prizes were awarded for the largest club 
orders of vegetable and flower seeds by 
the packet and ounceonly. This year 
everything counts, and all club orders 
sent me in competition for these prizes 
will be counted July 1, 1902, and the prizes 
awarded in the following manner: ; 
For the largest club order $200.00 
For the second largest club 150.00 
must mention on each and every order , 
that the order is sent in competition for 
the $1,000 in cash prizes; otherwise they 
will not be counted in the competition. 
This, my Silver Anniversary Catalogue, 
I think all will admit is by all odds the 
best I have ever published. Everything 
good, old or new, will be found in the fol- 
lowing pages, and anything omitted has 
been omitted for cause. Many of my 
friends wrote me that my 1901 catalogue 
was a wonder; this year I know it is very 
much better. For two years I have been 
working with the idea of giving my 
friends in 1902 a book that would surpass 
anything heretofore known in the trade, 
and I think I have accomplished it. Your | 
friends and neighbors will all want some |! 
of the things listed in this catalogue, 
many of which can be obtained nowhere | 
else. Somebody is going to get that $1,000 
July 1,next. You should obtain part of it. 6) 
Many people think they have no chance | 
in an open competition, but I have fre- E 
quently known of cases where a single S| 
afternoon’s work has secured a cash club © | 
prize of from $5.00 to $25.00. All orders § | 
sent, big or little, will be counted July Ist, « 
provided you mention on every order 
that it is in competition for cash prizes.

SOMETHING WORTH HAVING. : ai, 
It has been my habit for a number of years past to give from time to time in my | 
Annual Catalogue, photographic views of Briar Crest, my Seed Warehouses, ete., = . 
ete. These photographs have been taken at considerable expense, and have been 5 
pronounced the best of the kind ever published in the seed trade. My customers al- gq |; 
ways seemed io highly anpreciate these photographs, consequently, this year I have @ |} 
gotten up a little Souvenir, in the shape of a Booktet, which I eall ‘‘Forty Phot 
graphs of how I conduct the Seed and Plant Business.” __ pice % 
These photographs are beautifully printed, and I am sure will be appreciated by | 
my old friends, especially as they contain the first photograph of myself I have ever = 
published. Ofcourse, this Booklet will not be sold under any considerat’>n, but wills 
¥ 
be mailed free to every customer requesting it when ordering. 
8a The above is clipped from my 1901 catalogue. All my customers who received | 
this little booklet last season were delighted with it; so much so that I have deter-| *. 
mined to get out another edition, which I will be pleased to send to every customer | * 
requesting it on their order, who did not receive it in 1901. fl
