IMPORTANT NOTICE. 



The prices herein quoted on vegetable seeds are based on 

 customers paying delivery charges when sent either by express 

 or freight, but here is a plan whereby it rests with you whether 

 we pav the freight or you. On purchases of vegetable seeds from 

 this list to the value of S10.00 and upwards, WE WILL DE- 

 LIVER FREE, by freight or express at our option, to any railroad 

 station in the United States, PROVIDED that at least half of the 

 order is composed of small seeds, that is, any vegetable seeds in 

 the List other than Peas, Beans, Corn, Onion Sets and Potatoes. 

 If your order does not amount to §10.00. you can avail yourself 

 of this offer by combining your order with one or more of your 

 neighbors. When seeds are desired by mail, postage must be 

 added at the rate of 8c. per lb. On Peas, Beans and Corn, 10c. 

 per quart. Packets, ounces and quarter pounds are mailed free. 

 Half a pound will be supplied at pound rates, half a peck at 

 peck rates; half a bushel at bushel rates. When packets are 

 wanted and they are not here priced, we will furnish at Retail 

 Catalogue prices, subject to a discount of twenty-rive per cent.

MARKET GARDENERS' 



WHOLESALE 

 CATALOGUE 



of Vegetable Seeds 



( )ffers in more condensed form and at much lower prices the varieties of Vegetable Seeds, etc., both new and old which are to 

 be found described in our retail catalogue of " Everything for the Garden," and those desiring fuller descriptions of the various 

 sorts are referred to that catalogue. We were, we think, the first seed house to recognize the justice of giving Market Gardeners 

 lower prices than those who simply grew for their own use or amusement, and as the tendency the last few years has been for 

 lower prices on nearly all seeds, the prices given this season will be found satisfactory. 



WHEN WE EXECUTE ORDERS. 



Every order is filled immediately on arrival, or is acknowl- 

 edged if, under rare circumstances, its shipment is likely to be 

 delayed for a day or two. If goods, notification of shipment or 

 acknowledgment of order is not received by the customer after a 

 reasonable lapse of time it may lie assumed that the order has 

 miscarried, or that the name or address was omitted from the 

 order. We will, where m ■! ified of such a case, use our best efforts 

 to trace it without delay. 



We fill orders of all values from the smallest to the largest, 

 and all receive the same careful and prompt attention. 



About 



PACKING AND SHIPPING. 



No charge made. 



We make no charge for packing, cases, baskets, packages or 

 barrels, and pack as lightly as possible, consistent with safety, 

 so as to reduce the cost of carriage. In fact, we assume extra 

 expense in supplying light strong cases, and. where possible, we 

 pack in baskets covered with waterproof covers, which greatly 

 reduces weight . 



Cloth Bags only we charge for, and these at cost, viz.: 1 peck, 

 10c; \ bush,. 12c.; 1 bush., 15c.; 2 bush.. 20c. All grass seed 

 bags, excepting bags for Timothy and Clover, are furnished free. 



We make no charge for cartage or delivery of goods to any 

 railroad station, steamship line or express office in New York 

 City. 



The safe arrival is guaranteed of all goods sent by express to 

 any part of the United States or Canada. We ship plants at all 

 seasons of the year, even in the coldest weather 



The advantage that we possess in shipping from New York 

 is pronounced on account of the many different routes by which 

 we can ship, and the consequent competition in speed and trans- 



portation rates, thereby securing for our customers quick de- 

 livery at the lowest cost. In most instances customers can get 

 their goods more quickly and cheaply from us than when ordered 

 nearer home. 



HOW BEST TO ORDER. 



By writing out your order on the order sheet which accom- 

 panies this catalogue you will greatly facilitate our work. When 

 goods are ordered from both seed and greenhouse establish- 

 ments, we always combine the orders where practicable, and 

 make one shipment. 



Be sure to sign your rame and give your address. Many 

 orders reach us lacking either or both; customers when writing 

 about unsigned orders will aid us in identification by mention- 

 ing some of the articles ordered. 



Give full shipping instructions on each and every order you 

 send. To avoid chance of error, never write letters on the same 

 sheet as your order. 



HOW BEST TO REMIT. 



Remittances should be made either in the form of an Express 

 Money Order, P. O. Money Order, Bank Draft or Registered 

 Letter. 



Customers can also shop by express, as all express companies 

 have purchasing departments in all their offices. If you wish to 

 order goods from us to be sent by express, ask for a Purchasing 

 Order Blank at any express office and it will be supplied and for- 

 warded without charge other than usual rates for returning goods. 



If goods are wanted C. O. D., 25 per cent, of the amount must 

 accompany the order. Compliance with this will avoid delay in 

 filling order. 



Orders from unknown correspondents, not accompanied bv a 

 remittance, should send New York City reference to save delav.
