S0METHIN8 NEW FOR 1899. 
A. INEVV DEPARTURE. 
To our Patrons: This is our twentieth year in the seed business, and we propose to 
celebrate if by a new departure in the method of conducting our business. In common 
with other seedsmen, we have heretofore had two sets of prices for our seeds: one our 
General Catalogue, with mailing prices, and the other a Special Price List for Market har- 
deners. Our prices to market gardeners have been from twenty to twenty-live percent 
less than our regular catalogue prices. We have determined to make 
ONE PRICE TO ALL ALIKE, 
and give them the benefit of the reduced, or market Gardners' prices. In carrying I wo sets 
of prices, we have often had difficulty in determining who should be charged t he regular or 
full catalogue price, and who were entitled to gardeners' prices. By giving to all alike the 
same prices, we shall get rid of all complications arising from carrying two sets of prices. 
We have accordingly simplified our catalogue, and made it a Market Gardeners' Cata= 
logue, with one price to all. We invite a careful comparison of the prices in our catalogue 
with the prices in other catalogues for 1899. You will find that we sell many of our seeds 
for 3 and 4 cents per packet, and 5 and 6 cents per ounce, while 5 cents per packet and 
lOcentsper ounce is the customary price for the same seeds, and that the prices of our 
seeds by weight and measure are reduced in the same proportion. 
WE CALL OUR SEEDS $ SEEDS, 
because you save money by buying them, and you make money by planting them. 
Send your orders to us, and give us a chance to prove to you that this is true. 
One word as to the quality of our seeds. We have made a specialty of the market gar- 
deners' trade, and it is a well-understood fact among seedsmen, that any man who sells an 
inferior or cheap grade of seed cannot hold the trade of professional gardeners. If ourseeds 
give satisfaction to them, we know they will satisfy the public at large. 
The prices given include the postage on packets, ounces ami % lbs., and they will be 
sent &'/ mail prepaid, But the prices by the lb. and quart do not include the postage. 
Heavy packages can be sent cheaper by express or freight. If seeds by the lb. or quart are 
ordered sent by mail, add the postage, S cents per lb and 12 cents per quart for Corn, and 
15 cents per quart for Beans and Peas, to the prices given.
