N sending yovi this Wholesale List of Vegetable Seeds and soliciting your orders, 

 we wish to emphasize the fact that 



OUR TESTED SEEDS ARE PROCURABLE ONLY FROM US DIRECT.

 TYPES^ STRAIM. 



, OF 



Vegetable Seeds 



Several years ago we al<olishcd the jobbing dcj^artment of onr business. Our 

 efforts are now especially directed to the interests and requirements of the Market 

 Gardener. 



Having no jobbing trade interests to protect, we are enabled to svipply the 

 planter direct with the highest quality of seeds at the lowest possible price. Com- 

 ing in closer contact with our customers — from grower to planter direct — begets 

 a confidence that is impossible when seeds p~>ass through the hands of a middle-man. 



The seed business differs from nearly all others, from the fact that after the 

 seeds are sown, weeks must elapse before their real value can be established, anil 

 for this reason the exchange of seeds between buyer and seller must ever be entirely 

 a matter of confidence, and that confidence, we believe, can only be lastingly held 

 by such seed firms as test their seeds before selling, and who have the practical ex- 

 perience to accurately determine when they are right. Our own practical experience of thirty years as market gardeners forcibly 

 impresses upon us the fact that the best is none too good for those whose living depends tipon profitable crops, and we assure 

 all, our old as well as prospective customers, that there are no better stocks procurable than are being used in our Market 

 Gardener's Department to-dav.
