QUANTITY PRICES STOKES' PEDIGREE ONION SEED 



The 1908 crop of Pedigree Philadelphia Onion Seed is unusually plump and heavy, and, subject to our greenhouse test in Mother Earth, 

 shows perfect germinating power. I have made prices at the lowest living rate for the quality I furnish, and am sure that no reliable seeds- 

 men can sell seed of equally good quality for less money. These prices do not include postage, and are for seed sent by express or 



freight at purchaser s expense
