Market-Gardeners, Farmers' Clubs and Institutes 



Wanting to purchase seeds in large quantities should write for 

 special prices. Although I have made prices very low in this 

 Calalogue, yet where a number of pounds or bushels are wanted 

 I can frequently supply at a lower price than by a single pound 

 or bushel. In writing, give a list of quantities and varieties re- 

 quired, and I will return list promptly with lowest cash price 

 for the lot.
