 myself from the highest-priced pansies

 Mammoth Blotched; the new Orchid-

 toria, brilliant wine red, Aureola, 

 Marechal Niel, delicate cream color, 

 a most unique sort, Lovely, dark red, 

 Pretiosa, carmine purple with white 

 margin, and Pres. Carnot, white with

_ Testimonial for my Cux-ture of Flowers. 



'Vour catalog is proof of your personal attention to your 

 business, and I congratulate you. I ahrays want your 

 Culmre booklet and give it to the young- who love plants 

 and need instruction. — F. M. Stockbridg-e. 



IF— 

 If you wish best results you should plant 



ray seeds. 



If you wish prompt and sure service write 

 your address as plain as print, and be sure to 

 give postoflice and state. 



If you wish to economize note my prices. 



If you are afraid of my seeds because prices 

 are low, you r. .ed not fear as in many cases 

 I lessen the quantity, not the quality. 



BECAUSE— 



Because thousands of satisfied customers 

 testify to their worth. 



Because in the season's rush, clerks cannot 

 take the time to dicipher illegible handwriting, 

 and packages are liable to be misdirected. 



Because you can get as good seeds as you 

 would pay much more for elsewhere. 



Because this allows a much larger variety, 

 if desired, for the same outlay.
