IN calling attention to the following NOVELTIES and other varieties of exceptional value, we 

 wish to say that while many of them are now offered for the first time, in no instance do we 

 list them simply because they are new and distinct. The few new varieties we offer are 

 selected from hundreds presented to us as new and improved sorts, which we have tested 

 within the past vear. No variety ever finds a place in our list until we are satisfied that in some 

 important points it is superior to anything we have, and it is for this reason that some loudly 

 praised and widely advertised kinds have no place in our Seed Annual. 



We have spared no pains to secure a sample of even,- promising sort and to test it thoroughly 

 by comparison with others. If satisfied of its value we have procured the best stock available, 

 regardless of cost. We are likewise expending much time and money in developing improved 

 strains of standard sorts. As a result we have in many instances secured stocks which are as 

 distinct an improvement as many of the kinds offered as new. We are confident that even-thing 

 in the following list is the best representative of its kind and that a collection of vegetables and 

 flowers selected from it can not be surpassed.
