INTRODUCTORY 



^s^«' 



^^ \NCE more it is our pleasure to extend a hearty greeting to our 



^J friends and customers, and to thank them again for their con- 



W^ tinned patronage, which we have endeavored to merit by con- 



W^i stant and careful attention to the business entrusted to us, and 



now, with the opening of the New Year, all, the trader and the 



farmer, look forward to the advent of spring, and to another year of 



activity in the pursuit of business. 



How may the farmer maintain, and possibly increase the earning 

 capacity of his land, is the question, and surely it is answered by care 

 and foresight in producing and using the Choicest Seeds only, the most 

 Productive Fertilizers^ and the most Labor Saving Implements^ which, to- 

 gether with constant and skillful labor, can hardly fail to bring to the 

 farmer increasing prosperity, and while there are many openings in store 

 and factory, yet agriculture will remain the calling of a large majority, 

 and the real basis of national prosperity. 



In our catalogue will be found the names of well known Standard 

 Varieties of seeds, proven to be the most valuable of their kinds for this 

 climate, and we assure you that our motto is continually 



THE BEST SEEDS THE BEST GROWERS PRODUCE, 



for we realize that in all classes of goods, in Seeds, Fertilizers or implements 



THAT QUALITY IS FIRST TO BE CONSIDERED. 



Dealers, Market Gardeners, and Institutions requiring large quanti- 

 ties of Seeds, are Invited to Write Us for quotations, and Special Price 

 lists. 



We shall be pleased to answer all correspondence promptly. 



Seeds forwarded by Mail or Express, as the purchaser may wish. 



All sums to the amount of one dollar and upwards may be sent at 

 our risk if forwarded according to the following directions, viz : by Post 

 Office Money Order, Bank Drafts, or Cash sent in a Registered Letter. 



In sending an order give your Name^ Post Ojfice^ County and S'ate 

 in full, as plainly as possible ; your Name Especially Written Very Dis- 

 tinctly. We receive many letters without the signature of the writer, 

 which causes much trouble to us and anxiety to them. Please be par- 

 ticular in this respect. 



In shipping we make no charge for delivery to railroads or express 

 companies. 



Bags charged at cost. 



Very respectfully yours, 



P. MANN & CO.
