stokes' "Floracroft" trial grounds and greenhouses at Moorestown, N. J. 



Personal to My Friends and Customers 



EED Catalogues do not count for much as literature, but there is a human side 

 to them, so that each recurring season they are looked forward to with real joy. 



That little garden just outside your window m.eans so much to every lover 

 of country life, not only in the health and vigor that outdoor hfe brings, but the 

 real good things to eat we get from the vegetable garden, and the fragrance and beauty 

 of the flowers that adorn our homes. 



I hope you will find this issue of my Catalogue helpful in every department. Many new 

 varieties are offered that I am sure will be found worthy of my reputation. 



Yours for the best garden on earth

HOW TO ORDER STOKES' STANDARD SEEDS 



SEEDS BY MAIL. The Rural Free Delivery Mail Carrier here illustrated, and thousands like him all over this whole coun- 

 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. 



SEEDS MAILED POSTPAID. In considering my prices, both of new 

 and standard garden seeds, please bear in mind that I pay the postage by 

 the packet, ounce, quarter-pound, pound and pint. 



HOW TO ORDER. Please be careful to sign your name, post-office, 

 county and state on each and every letter sent me. Cash should accom- 

 pany the order. You may remit at my risk either by post-office order, 

 bank draft, express order, or cash by registered letter. I am responsible 

 for safe arriv al of the seeds, — whether sent by mail, express or freight. 



YOU RUN NO RISK in sending cash with order. My reputation as 

 an honest and experienced seedsman is well known, while my financial 

 responsibility can be learned by inquiry of any bank, trust company, or 

 wholesale merchant who subscribes to either of the Commercial Agency 

 Reports. I do not charge for bags or boxes.
