NEVER, in the entire 

 history of the Seed 

 Trade 



have seeds been offered at such low prices, prices that are really 

 below the cost of production of first-class seeds, and when sound- 

 thinking business men have goods offered them below cost they 

 must stop and think, and must know that something is radically 

 wrong. What is it ? The supposition is that the seeds are either 

 old and of poor vitality, or that they have not been carefully grown, 

 and that the quality of the seeds has been sacrificed to enable them 

 to be offered cheaply. Faust's Seeds are of the best quality, are 

 sold at fair prices, and are not in competition with seeds of doubt- 

 ful quality now being so generally offered. 



Our seeds are either grown on our own farm, or by competent 

 growers under our personal inspection, in localities best suited to 

 the perfect development of seeds. They can therefore be fully re- 

 lied upon as being fresh and genuine, and of the same good quality 

 as those which have given satisfaction in former seasons. 



We do an extensive export trade, and special attention is given 

 foreign orders, which are carefully packed for long journeys. 



Your esteemed orders will have careful attention. 

 We remain yours truly, 



H. G. FAUST & CO.
