OUR SEEDS are the BEST that can be obtained anywhere, because we are as careful in our selection as it is 

 possible for anyone to be, and are constantly on the lookout for the best of everything, but will not put on 

 the market anything until it has been thoroughly tried and proved. 

 No matter what others may ask for their seeds, better quality cannot be obtained anywhere, as our constantly 

 and rapidly increasing trade does and will testify. 



Our Seeds are ALL TESTED thoroughly before being placed on the market. 



If for any reason you change your postoffice address, please advise us, giving your old address as well as your 

 new one, stating which is the old and new one. 



By writing out your order on the Order Sheet sent with each Catalogue you will greatly facilitate our work. 

 Extra Order Sheets sent on application. Be sure to sign your name in full, giving postoffice and shipping point. If 

 you have rural delivery, give name and number of route. If you want goods shipped by boat or railroad, state 

 which you prefer, and what line to send by.
