1869 P. MANN & COMPANY 1919 



Fifty Years in Business 



Since 1869, half a century ago, P. MANN & COMPANY 

 has successfully supplied the Seed and Farm Implement 

 needs of nearby Farmers and Truck Gardeners :: :: 



In all these half a hundred years the firm of P. MANN & COMPANY has 

 steadily gained the confidence and firmly held the patronage of thousands of cus- 

 tomers throughout the near-by counties of Maryland and Virginia, who invariably 

 realized from the first order that the firm's policy is fixed in the matter of supply- 

 ing only Dependable Seeds and Up-to-Date Farm Implements at the fairest market 

 prices. 



Passing the half-century milepost of its career, the firm takes this occasion to 

 thank all who have so generously contributed to its success through liberal and con- 

 tinued patronage, and also to assure one and all that its policy of fair dealings will 

 always be the fixed policy of this firm. 



P. MANN & COMPANY invites you to use this Catalog as a guide in selecting 

 the Seeds and Implements you will need during the coming season, and thanks 

 you in advance for any orders you may see fit to send. 



Instructions to Purchasers — Read Carefully 



Write your Name, Post-Office, County and State as clearly as possible. 



Use the Oder Sheet — fill in Quantity, Name of Article and Price in the order as given in the 

 Catalog, and always keep a copy of your order. Write your instructions at the end of order — not 

 between the items. 



Remittances should be made by Post-Office Orders, or by Express Money Orders, Registered 

 Letter or Draft on New York. 



SHIPMENTS — Seeds and Bulbs can be sent by Parcel Post at the same rates as general 

 merchandise, or they can be forwarded by Express at 20 per cent less than merchandise rates. 

 Seeds in bulk, Implements and other heavy goods are shipped by freight, and unless there is a 

 freight agent at point of destination, the freight must be prepaid ; the purchaser advances the same, 

 unless otherwise arranged. 



As the season advances some stocks of Seeds are exhausted, so it is advisable when late orders 

 are sent to name a few substitutes. We make substitution only when requested to do so. If not 

 so instructed, the remittance will be refunded. 



We do not warrant in any way, express or implied, the contents or description, quality, pro- 

 ductiveness or any other matter of any Seeds, Bulbs or Plants sold by us, and we will not be in 

 any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept goods on such terms, he must 

 return them at once, and money will be refunded. 



Catalogs are sent free to all our customers of the past year. Please advise us promptly of 

 any change of address, so you will not fail to receive your copy promptly.
