four papers of eiiher peas, beans or corn (not more than four altogether) in the fifteen 
papers. Or, for the same amount, we will mail 24 smaller papers, including four papers of 
either peas, beans or corn ‘not more than four altogether’. This is done to enable cus- 
tomers to get reliable seeds in good size papers in places where our.seeds are not sold.

which wealways guarantee. 
SPECIAL NOTICE.—Those only who can show a letter of recent date with our signa- 
ture attached, are authorized to solicit orde s for us. We wish to call special attention to 
this, as we know it has heretofore been the practice of unprincipled persons to procure the 
catalogues of prominent seedsmen and take ordersin their names, which they will fill with 
poor stock bought elsewhere. If our patrons will kindly notify us of any person whom they 
have reason to believe is not a regularly appointed agent, we shall consider ita favor.

stick together,

instructions are given as to how shipment should be made, we will use our own discretion, 
but we urge all customers to state plainly whether they want goods mailed, expressed. or

these terms, they are at once to be returned. 
BEWARE OF CHEAP SEEDS. 
NO ONE CAN FURNISH A GOOD ARTICLE BELOW COST. 
Special notice is given to purchasers to compare our catalogue prices with those of Northern firms 
who add freight. cartazge, and cost of bags. Taking those items into consideration. it will be seen that 
our prices are in ke=ning with those whose prices are far in advance of ours, and our seed are none but 
the best the soil produces. 
These prices are calculated very low; be careful of lower offers.
