TOMORROW 



'Oh yesterday our little troop was ridden through and through. 

 Our swaying, tattered pennons fled, a broken, beaten few, 

 And all a summer afternoon the\- hunted u^ and slew; 

 But tomorrow, 

 By the living God, we'll try the game again!'* — j. m. 



1ET that be your marching song for the days ahead. We know the markets 

 have been bad — very bad. We know there have been a hundred things to 

 V fight against, but next year is a new year, and there are unbeatable plans 

 to be laid. Don't follow the crowd. Lead it. Study the dates of past glutted 

 markets and aim to avoid them. Get close to the consumer. Sell cooperatively, 

 but plan your crops independently. And finally — PLANT GOOD SEEDS ! 



With this catalogue we announce the establishment of Stokes SUPER-STAND- 

 ARDS — special strains of seed to meet the requirements of the ultra-critica[ 

 planter in his most intensive operations. These stocks have been developed to a 

 rare degree of perfection and represent our best work as seedsmen. They must 

 pass the most exacting tests before leaving Windermoor Farm, but when well 

 grown their performance will emulate their remarkable pedigree. 



As will be the case with all of our vegetable seeds this 3^ear, the germination will 

 be noted on all packages of one ounce and over. The sfightl}^ increased cost of our 

 SUPER-STANDARDS is insignificant when compared to the value of their 

 product, and will be found in direct ratio to the question ''What is it w^orth 

 to be sure?'* 



Special attention can profitably be given the flower seed pages of this catalogue 

 which have been entirely rewritten and which are now accurately illustrated in 

 color. Any property becomes more attractive if it is surrounded by a wealth of 

 flowers, and we know of no better paying investment. 



Once again we extend cordial greetings to old friends 

 and new. Good seeds and an honest catalogue apparently 

 have merit in the eyes of the market -gardener. Our 

 telfing the weak, as well as the strong points, and our 

 fisting varieties only under their true names have been in 

 fine with our estabfished poficy. In retrospect, the past 

 season here at Windermoor has been very satisfactory. 

 Your orders which poured in to us with every mail last 

 spring were indicative of your good faith. Your letters 

 received since tell us that we now have your good-will. 

 For both of these we are very grateful, and hereby renew 

 our pledge of vigilance. 



Faithfully yours,
