IMPORTANT 



as a positive and acknow Icdged fact, I grow 

 over 2500 acres of Peas every year for the 

 requirements of my business which in a normal year will produce 

 close to 50,000 bushels of Choice Seed. Sad to say, the past sca= 

 son's crop was Shorter than ever before, but I am determined to 

 protect the requirements of my thousands upon thousands of cus= 

 tomers who have been with me 40 years. With this end in view 

 I have cut out mj large jobbing trade and will fill orders received 

 from my regular customers in connection with their general Seed 

 Supply at prices listed in this Catalogue so far as is within my
