GPSS SEEDS FOI^ hJiVU m FIEbD 



We make a specialty of grass seeds and send out only the most useful varieties which are adapted to this country. 

 All that we offer have been recleaned and will meet the views of the most critical trade. Owing to the varying bulk 

 of grass seeds from season to season (owing to climatic conditions which cannot be controlled), they are always put 

 up by us by weight and not by measure, thereby securing to our customers the amount they pay for, as prices are 

 based on weight and not on bulk.
