 your customer for three sensons and have found you to be punctual 

 and your seeds proved in every respect satisfactory. 



T&e past 



season has 

 proved the 

 greatest busi- 

 ness year I 

 have known;

 flower seeds 

 has been 

 simply enor- 

 mous—over one 

 and a quarter mil- 

 lion packets, and 

 has lebttd my 

 facilities as 

 never before. 

 It would seem 

 that all the 

 world. by com- 

 mon consent, 

 agreed to en- 

 deavor to 

 swamp this 

 enterprise, by 

 flooding it 

 with tremend- 

 ous aggre- 

 gates of pat- 

 ronage, be- 

 stowed in 

 rapid succes- 

 sion—and the 

 end is not yet.
