COST OF MAII/ING SEED. 



Orders for ounces and 14 lbs. as well as ten cent papers are mailed free of postage, except Beans, Peas 

 and Corn. On orders by the pound and quart an advance of 8c. per lb. or pint, and 15 cents per quart 

 must be added to quotations for postage. See page 4, in regard to seeds by mail. 



On the receipt of $1 00 we will mail 15 large size papers of seeds, put up the same as seeds sold by 

 the pound. Tliese papers can be selected from this Catalogue, and include four papers of either Peas 

 or Beans in the fifteen papers. Or for the same amount we will mail 2i smaller papers, including 

 four papers of either Peas or Beans. This is done to enable customers to get reliable seed in good 

 sized papers in places where our seeds are not sold. 



We are not like a great many houses, prepay postage and add to the prices on seed. If you will in- 

 vestigate our prices carefully, you will find them as cheap as the cheapest for the same quality of seed. 



This year was an exceptionally iiard one on Seeds of every description, especially so on 

 Onions. Shallots. Corn, Oats, Ryes. Barleys. Clovers. Grass Seeds, Eggrplant, Fancy Peas, 

 Cucumbers. Water and Musk Melons, etc. We have visited the best grrow^ingf sections of this 

 country and have larg-e connections in Europe, and find the same conditions exist, there- 

 fore, prices are a little higfher. Order early to avoid the rush. 



SPECIAI/ DISCOUNT. 

 On all Vegetable and Flower Seed amounting to $5/0 and over, we will allow a special discount of 

 10%. On larger quantities special prices will be given on auplication. Above discount is allowed on all 

 seed except Peas, Beans and Corn, Potatoes, Onion Sets. Shallots, Grass and Field Seed, Shrubs, 

 Shade and Fruit Trees, Flowering Plants and Poultry, Garden Implments, Tools, and Dirt Bands; 

 these are net cash. 



CHEAP SEED. 

 While we claim to sell good seed as low as any one in the business, we do not want a reputation for 

 eheap seed, which in fact is only another name for a mixed, low grade, or worthless article. Many com- 

 plaints reach us, from time to time, of great loss to gardeners here from purchasing from establish- 

 ments advertising cheap seed. It is poor economy to try to save a few cents when we bear in mind that 

 the cost of the seed is a small matter in the total cost of the crop. If we do not start with a pure seed 

 true to name andkind, of good vitality, it is self-evident that we cannot make a good crop, no matter 

 how lavish we may be after planting in fertilizing aud cultivating. We are in the business to stay and 

 will not risk the loss of our reputation to gain a few extra dollars now. 



OUR TSRMS— Cash or satisfactory reference. Orders from unknown parties whose 

 financial rating is not recorded, must be accompanied by a Draft on New Orleans, Registered 

 I^etter or Money Order. Where neither of the above can be obtained, send remittance in 

 United States postage stamps. Stamps must be in good order, and placed so they will not 

 stick together. 



No Plants or I/ive Stock seat C. O. D. by express. 



When ordering write your name plainly, give correct P. O. address if by mail, if by 

 express give your express oS^ce or nearest express, to avoid any delay; also if by rail or boat 

 give station or landing, and if possible the name of railroad or name of boat. 



AH C. O. D. orders must ba accompanied by at ieast haif the amount. 



BEWARE OF CHBAP 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, cartage and cost of bags. Taking those items into consideration it will be seen that 



©ur prices are in keeping 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.
