SEED ANNUAL 



-®- 



N presenting our Seed Annual for 1895, ^'^ desire to call your atten- 

 tion to the following points as being worth}^ of 3^our most serious 

 consideration in connection with placing your order for seeds. In 

 deciding where to purchase the yearly suppU^ of seeds, one should 

 be influenced b}' the reliabilit}^ and integrity of the seedsman and his 

 facilities for supplying seeds in abundance of the best quality. The possible 

 outcome in the way of profit or loss of even a small investment in seeds, 

 is so great that quality should outweigh ever}^ other consideration. A 

 second point of scarcel}^ less importance is the matter of having 3^our 

 orders filled promptly and satisfactorily. We are by far the largest seed 

 growers in America, harvesting the product of many thousands of acres 

 annually, and employing the most able specialists in the matter of growing 

 and handling seed. We own the most complete plant of seed farms, trial 

 grounds, warehouses and ofiices of any seed house in the United States. 

 We use the utmost care to have the different kinds of seeds grown in those 

 localities and on such soils, that are best adapted to their perfect develop-, 

 ment. In producing and handling our seeds, w^e take every precaution to 

 have them all of the highest quality. At our Trial Grounds in Detroit we 

 test a sample of every lot of seed we offer, to see that it is of satisfactorv 

 vitality, and to ascertain if it is true and uniform in tA^pe ; here we also 

 test novelties and seeds offered by other seedsmen, and whenever we find a 

 variety possessing qualities of superior excellence, we lose no time and 

 spare no expense in procuring the seed and giving it a place in our Cata- 

 logue. In short, we do ever^^ thing possible to have our seeds of the 

 highest quality. 



In the following pages we give full and accurate descriptions of the 

 varieties we handle, and we can assure our readers that from our Catalogue 

 they can select a list of seeds which will meet every requirement, and our 

 prices are as low as possible, consistent with the highest quality. 



We will be gratified to receive any orders you send us, whether they are 

 large or small, and shall give them our prompt and most careful attention.
