MY CATALOGUE. 



While not a pretentious and showy catalogue, yet you will, I believe, find it un- 

 ique, compact, easy to handle and preserve, and especially convenient by its 

 strictly alphabetical arrangement for finding readily what you want. I have spared no pains to accomplish these ends. 



MY PLAN OF BUSINESS.— My plan of business, as has been the practice under the management of E. Nagel & Co., 

 is to offer only those kinds of seeds which are known to be of value and the growing of which will be a pleasure to 

 my patrons. Please do not look for many novelties in my list. Novelties, so-called, are usually old varieties under a new 

 name. Spend your money largely for what you know is good. 



GROWTH OF THIS BUSINESS.— The favor which this business has met with, especially' the last year, has been very 

 gratifying, and shows that efforts to please and deal honorably are highly appreciated by our patrons. I shall endeavor to 

 deserve, under the new management, an even more rapid increase than has marked the past. Would you not like to aid 

 me in this laudable ambition ? 



COMPARE MY PRICES.— The prices appearing in this catalogue speak for themselves. As compared with other 

 seed houses, you will find a savin^^ of from 26 to 50 per cent. This is not at the expense of quality, biit solely because of 

 the inexpensive way in which the business is being conducted. No one can take more pains than I am doing to secure 

 for my patrons the very best seeds grown, as well as to offer them at the very lowest figures. 



TESTED AND GUARANTEED. - All my 

 seeds are carefully and repeatedly tested be- 

 fore sending out, and with reasonable care I 

 can assure their success. If any fail, please 

 state circumstances as soon as possible, and 

 I shall be glad to make redress as far as lies 

 in my power. 



TESTIMONIALS.— You will find scattered 

 through this list a few voluntary testimonials 

 from our patrons. The number might be ex- 

 tended indefinitely, but it would be only a 

 repetition of the many good words that have 

 come to us. As you will notice they are all of 

 late date. As to my standing and responsi- 

 bility, if any one desires to make inquiry, I 

 take pleasure in referring to the Hennepin 

 County Savings Bank, Minneapolis, Minn., 

 or to the First National Bank, Princeton, 111. 

 But after all the best recommendation is a trial 

 order at a cost of only a few cents. Shall I 

 add j^ou to the list of mj^ patrons?
