Fifteen Years 

 1889- 1904. 



T 



FOR fifteen years we have been supplying the 

 Market (hardeners and Farmers with 

 Choice Garden and Field Seeds. 



Our large business is not the growth of 

 chance, but by hard and honest labor we have 

 built up a business which has extended all over 



this country. Honest Seeds at Low Prices 



has been our Motto. The heads of our firm have had a thorough education in the 

 seed business, and the catalogue which we now present to you is the work of our best 

 efforts. Our endeavors have always been to present and describe the best goods true 

 to nature as words can describe, not to over-draw descriptions to mislead and deceive 

 customers. We intend that our customers' interest and ours shall always be the 

 same. We do not make a big flourish in an elaborate catalogue and introduce a 

 quantity of worthless novelties at high prices to make our trade pay the cost. 



SEEDS BY MAIL AT CATALOGUE PRICES. 



^FREE BY MAIL. 



Remember that we deliver by mail, postage paid, 

 packets, ounces and quarter pounds. Postage must be 

 added at the rate of eight cents per pound on pounds 

 and half pounds of seed. On peas and beans add 15 

 cents per quart ; add 10 cents per quart on corn.

 hand ready to start planting your crops at the proper 

 time without any delay.

 railroad to ship by, and if freight has to be prepaid add 

 this amount of money to your order to prevent delay.

 the advantage of the regular merchandise rate to your

 transportation at a small cost to the customer.

One bushel, 10 cents each. Onion Sets Bags, holding 

 two bushels (not strong enough for Peas and Beans), 5 

 cents each.

 and an Envelope directed to us. 



Upon the order sheet we hope you will send us a trial 

 order, that we may convince you of the merits of our 

 Seed. 



GUARANTEE.— Complaints made that seeds are not good should quite as often be attributed to other causes 

 as to the quality of the seeds. There are hundreds of contingencies continually arising to prevent the best seeds 

 always giving satisfaction, such as sowing too deep, too shallow, in too wet or too dry soil ; insects of all descriptions 

 destroying the plants as soon as or before they appear ; wet weather, cold weather, frosts, chemical changes in the 

 seeds induced by temperature, etc. For the above reasons it is impracticable to guarantee seeds under all circumstances.
