To Our Friends and Patrons. 



Baltimore, January 1, 1895. 



In reviewing the past year's business we find, that notwithstanding the 

 extremely hard times experienced by the great majority of business houses, 

 we have had an increased trade over the previous year. The only way that we 

 can account for this is that the trade generally are pleased with our method of 

 doing business and have confidence in an old established house. We desire, 

 therefore, to thank our friends for this manifestation of their appreciation, and 

 assure them that we shall continue to handle the best line of goods to be ob- 

 tained. 



OUR SEED DEPARTMENT. 



In this department we handle nothing but strictly first-class goods in every 

 particular. Each variety of seed is grown in that section of the country oest 

 adapted to the special growth of that particular crop. None of our seeds are 

 sold without being thoroughly tested, and the greatest care is exercised in 

 securing the best possible seed stocks. 



IMPLEMENT DEPARTMENT. 



In addition to our specialties, on which we now have a very large trade, we 

 have secured (as you will find from the following pages) the very best agencies 

 known. 



In connection with this department we have a well equipped shop where all 

 kinds of machinery can be repaired at short notice and by experienced mechanics. 



In addition to above, our stock comprises a full line of Farm and Garden 

 Supplies. 



Again thanking our many friends who have assisted us in building up the 

 largest trade of any house in the South, and assuring them that we shall always 

 make it our special business to supply them with the best goods at consistent 

 prices, we remain, Yours, &c,
