Palm Seeds. 



The Palm seeds we offer are imported direct from approved sources in Australia, New Zealand, 

 South America, Central America and West Indies, and are unexcelled in quality and purity. Fresh seeds 

 arrive throughout the year, as the various species mature, but the greater number come during the spring 

 and summer.

Southport, Conn., June 9, 1894. 



Messrs. J. M. Thorburn & Co. : 



Vour seeds all came up, and are growing well. This is more than can be said by others who sent further for their seeds 

 and fared worse. On the strength of six years' satisfactory dealings I recommended your firm r.s reliable to a number hereabout, 

 and you have doubtless had orders from them. (Signed; Chas. H. Grav. 



Highland Falls, X. V., March 5, 1S94. 



Messrs. J. M. Thorburn & Co. : 



Your seeds please me better than any I have ever used. They are reliable from first to last. I have used them now for 

 20 years, and think I ought to know something about them. Xever mind how bad the season, I am able to get a crop from your 

 seeds, and generally a good one. 



The Gilt-Edge Cauliflower was extra fine last season in spite of the drought. Planted July 24th, I had heads 12% inches in 

 diameter and weighing over 10 pounds in Xovember Hoping vou may have a prosperous season, 



(Signed) Max A. Guelkk.
