IF YOU ARE 



SATISFIED WITH US 



VALUABLE AND 

 USEFUL PREMIUMS 



The treatment we give you 

 with the seeds we send you and 

 your general business relations 

 with us, will you do us the favor 

 of mentioning the fact to some of 

 your neighbors ? If we can please 

 you, we can please others and we assure you we will be careful to 

 make your friends more than satisfied should they place their order 

 with us. ^ 



WE GUARANTEE OUR SEEDS S^o^gSi^ i? 



from any cause 



they should fail to prove such, we will refill the order or refund the 

 price paid us upon receipt of satisfactory evidence from any customer 

 that such was the case, but it must be understood we do not guarantee 

 the crop any further than to refill the order or refund the amount 

 paid us. 



Two years ago we started in 

 by offering a Gold Fountain Pen 

 as premium on an order made 

 up of packets and ounces, to the 



amount of $2.50. This solid gold 



Pen took so well as a premium 

 that we were inclined to offer other useful articles as premiums on 

 seed orders. Many of our customers wrote us, stating that they 

 could not understand how we could give away such valuable premiums 

 with their orders. This is how we do it: We save from other chan- 

 nels of expense and give our customers this saving in these premiums. 

 It is simply another proof of our fair treatment policy. This year 

 we have decided to give away a complete line of valuable premiums, 

 and owing to want of space in our catalogue, we are compelled to use 

 a separate circular which goes out with every catalogue. Should you, 

 however, not receive one of these circulars, kindly write us at once 

 and we will mail one to you. 



By asking your neighbor to include their 

 order with yours and have all shipped 

 together, you can save, not only in the 

 freight rates, but also can secure one of the premiums we offer on 

 orders of different sizes. These premiums are not gotten up to be 

 given away, but are manufactured articles that are put on the market 

 for the sale at the I'egular prices and are of the very highest grade of 

 workmanship throughout. We would advise you to read this premium 

 circular carefully and then go to work. A single afternoon's work has 

 frequently secured a good prize for many of our customers. In addi- 



CLUB ORDERS 



tion to offering a premium on a single order, we have decided that 

 you can take your premium at the end of the season, provided, that 

 you mention on each and every order sent in that it is in competition 

 for a premium to be selected at the end of the season; otherwise, the 

 order will not be counted after July 1, 1907 ; but, understand, shojiild 

 you send in an order under the conditions named on circular, to the 

 amount of one premium, you are entitled to take this premium, with- 

 out waiting. Our only object in making this offer is that should soine 

 desire to work along during the season with their neighbors, their 

 work will be counted at the end of the season where the amounts 

 sufficient to secure all more valuable premiums than those 



are 



offered for smaller orders.
