— ^BLOOD WILL TELL IN SEEDS AS WELL AS ANIMALS.^ 



1 T is not enovigK to Kno-w tKat seeds gro-w, for -weed seeds -will grow ! THe vital point is. What -will 

 •■■ tHey prod-uce ? This is a matter that is too seldom taken into consideration by the average buyer, many of whom are 

 more interested in hunting for the lowest in price, while progressive farmers and gardeners appreciate that "blood will tell" 

 in seeds as well as in animals, and realizing that their crops depend upon the seeds they plant, avoid " cheap " seeds as being 

 poor economy, knowing that superior seeds produce superior and more profitable crops. 



While we do not wish to appear egotistical, yet in justice to ourselves and our seeds, and for the benefit of people who 

 have never dealt with us, we claim to be the producers and distributors of the best seeds in tKe -world — it is our business 

 and our profession. We know that planters of seeds buy them entirely on confidence ; we realize that to lose a man's con- 

 fidence is to lose his patronage. If you have never used our seeds, try tKem this year, and we will try and retain your 

 confidence, as we have succeeded in doing with annually-increasing thousands for over half a century.
