I have this year dispensed with all confusing 
discounts, and have determined to allow each 
and every one of my customers to select their 
own premium packets on the following basis : 
For every one dollar’s worth of seeds by the 
packet and ounce ordered, you may select 50 
cents extra in packets of flower or vegetable 
seeds. If your order for packets and ounces 
amounts to $2.00, select $1.00 extra in packets, 
if to $5.00, select $2,50 extra in packets, for a| 
$10.00 order of seeds by the packet and ounce, 
you may select $5.00 extra in packets. By 
taking advantage of this liberal discount, ay 
customers can select just the varieties of extra 
seeds they need in their garden. Thousands of 
free packets, for which they have absolutely no 
use, are presented each year by seedsmen to 
their customers. In the past I have done this 
myself, but this year I have turned over a new 
leaf, and have decided to give my friends this 
liberal discount, so they can make their own 
selection and get just what they want. I do 
not offer any free books, nor any other free 
sample packets, but have combined all prévious 
offers in the above,’ which all my friends can 
a understand.

To compete for these prizes the club raiser must mention on 
each and every order that it is sent me in competition for the 
cash club prizes; otherwise it will not be counted. 
I have decided to count everything, not only seeds by the 
packet and ounce, but seeds by the barrel, bushel, peck, pound, | 
pint, as well as plants, bulbs, seed potatoes, etc. In 
everything listed in this catalogue will be counted this

| tion for the cash club prizes, otherwise the order will not be 
| my old club raisers to take an unusual interest in the com- 
‘petition, and I trust the clubs will be much larger than 
/ever. Please note that this past season a club amounting 
to $19.70 secured a $10.00 prize ; a $27.35 club secured a $15.00 
| prize, and a $47.60 secured a $25.00 prize, while the top prize 
of $200.00 went to a club that amounted only to a little over 
$100.00 more than the prize itself. A single afternoon’s work 
has frequently secured a good prize for many of my customers. 
Remembering this fact, also the fact that everything is counted 
this year in competition for these prizes, I hope all my old 
club raisers will start to work with a will. 
Bear in mind that to compete for these prizes you must 
mention on, each and every order sent in that it is in competi- 
counted July 1, 1906, when the premiums are to be awarded.
