FORTY-TWO YEARS have elapsed since we began business, and our increased trade year by year since then testifies to our 

 popularity. Our dealings are no longer confined to nearby sections, but to nearly every State in the Union, and each year we 

 are reaching out farther and farther until now we find ourselves in foreign countries. The reason for this goes without saying. 

 RESULTS SHOW and RESULTS are what all are lookin$^ for. 



In 1888 we issued our first Annual Descriptive Catalogue, and from a few thousands our mailing list has reached enormous 

 proportions. Judging from the past, with increased facilities for doing business, who can foretell the possibilities of the future. 



Volume and diversity is what has brought our business to its piesent magnitude, and now we are in a position to satisfy 

 every want of the farmer and gardener in their respective lines. 



Trusting to continue to hold your esteem, we confidently present to you this our Fifteenth Issue.
