Vaughan's Condensed notes on .Vsparagu 

 .rowing are sent free to all who order seed o 

 oots amounting to one doll-- 



^LL of our contracts with our growers are made 

 with the understanding- that our seeds are grown 

 for this purpose. It i.s well l<nf)\vn that such stocks 

 need special care. ( ':i hli.i l,'^. s w hen iilanted out for 

 seed must be .selected I'm- uMifoim heads. Onion bulbs 

 must be of the right sliape and color and with small 

 necks. Beets must be smooth, and true In type and 

 color, and so on through the list. 



We do not aim to make cheap prices, but to meet 

 the market gardener's requirements according to our 

 standards at the best possible value. 



When ordering be sure that we understand exactly 

 the kind of vegetables that your market or your par- 

 ticular trade requires, and we will supply the same. 

 Market gardeners know that every city has favorite 

 varieties in most leading vegetables. One market 

 needs a scarlet Radish, another a white tip variety; 

 one a curled Lettuce, another a smooth leaf; one 

 a dark red Globe Onion, another a round yellow Globe 

 Danvers, and so on through the list. 



Write us at any time regarding your needs and we 

 shall be glad to advise you.
