PLANTERS' AND GARDENERS' PRICE LIST 



COST OF MAILING SEED- 



Orders for ounces and ten cent papers are mailed free of postage, except Beans, 



Peas and Corn. See page 4 in regard to seeds by mail. On orders by the ponnd and 



%uart an advance of eight cents per lb. or pint and fifteen cents per quart mast be added to 



quotations for postage. 



On the receipt of $1.00 we will mail fifteen large size papers of seeds, put up the same 

 as seeds sold by the pound. These papers can be selected from this Catalogue, and 1b- 

 clude four papers of either Peas or Beans in the fifteen papers. Or for the same amount 

 we will mail twenty smaller papers, including four papers of either Peas or Beans. This 

 is done to enable customers to get reliable seeds in good sized papers in places where our 

 seeds are not sold. 



CHEAP SEED. 



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

 reputation for cheap seed, which in fact is only another name for a mixed; low grade, or 

 worthless article. Many complaints reach us, from time to time, of great loss to gardeners 

 here from purchasing from establishments advertising cheap seed. It is poor economy to 

 try to save a few cents on seed 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 and 

 kind, 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 and cultivating. We are in the business t© 

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



We also wish to call the attention of our patrons to the fact that the past season has 

 been extremely unfavorable to the seed crop throughout the whole world. The natural 

 result of this is that higher prices than usual are asked by all growers for high grade 

 seeds, guaranteed to be fresh. This is particularly noticeable on Peas. Beans, Carrots, 

 Cabbage, Vine. Corn and Forage Grain varieties. You can rest assured that where chetop 

 goods are offered orders will be filled from old stock. 



OUR TERMS — Cash or satislactcry reference. Orders from unknown parties whose 

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

 tered Letter or Money Order. Where neither of the above can be obtained, seed remit- 

 tance in United States postage stamps. Stamps must be in good order, and placed so they
