 OUR LOCATION.

 practically at the intersection of Liberty Avenue, Diamond Street 

 and Ferry Street, and directly across Ferry Street from the Wa- 

 bash Passenger Depot, we are of easy access from all car lines, 

 railroads and boulevards, (See back cover.) 



DELIVERY. 



We deliver postpaid to any Post Office in the United States 

 all Vegetable and Flower Seeds sold in packets, ounces or pounds, 

 except Beans, Peas and Corn. Owing to our proximity to the 

 Parcel Post headquarters, located on Ferry Street, our mail serv- 

 ice is unexcelled. See express and freight shipments below.

Early orders mean early shipment. This puts the seeds in 

 your hands, so that when planting conditions are favorable you 

 can go right ahead without any delay.
