 Price, $1.50 each, delivered at the door, within the 

 delivery limits of the Long Island Express Company

Send only fresh, clean, attractive products to 

 market ; sort, grade and honestly pack and mark each 

 package ; give full measure ; use only clean, neat 

 packages, and put your name and brand thereon. 

 Keep the ''culls" for stock feed; earn a reputation 

 for fancy products only. 



My earnest wish : May your garden be a great 

 success, whether planned for pleasure or profit.
