1911 Greeting to My Friends and Customers 



In handing you my new Catalogue, the wish goes with it that the past season has been a profitable one to you. 



With some exceptions, seed crops have been good. Unfortunately, peas, a most important item, have been a very poor 

 crop and will be very scarce with high prices. 



As in the past, I have tested and examined during growth a number of new varieties of vegetables which I am offering 

 this year for the first time, and I hope you will try them all as I know they are of sterling merit. 



I want all of my customers to have courteous and liberal treatment and the best possible service, and if at any time aught 

 should occur to cause any dissatisfaction, I trust you will not hesitate to bring the matter to my attention, assuring you that my 

 utmost endeavor will be to adjust it in a manner entirely satisfactory to you. 



Please notice the liberal discounts for seeds in packets and ounces and my remarks regarding the 

 prepayment of freight on larger orders. 



For a complete index to the Catalogue, see the last page. Yours for the best garden on earth, 



Philadelphia, January, 1911 WALTER P. STOKES

 try, bring my seed store, with its complete equipment, right before every farmer's door. No branch of our great government has 

 ever been established that has been so instantly popular and serviceable to the farming communities all over the land as this 

 Rural Free Delivery Service. Their daily calls keep the farmer in touch 

 with the outside world in a manner which was unknown before.

 new and standard garden seeds, please bear in mind that I pay the post-
