Esteemed Friend: - 



Greetings. We send you herewith our 1907 Handbook of Seeds. We 

 sent you our 1906 edition but find you were one of the few from 

 whom we received no order. It may be our book failed to reach you, 

 or that you had enough seeds to supply your garden without purchas- 

 ing any. If perchance there was any seed we sent you did not give 

 satisfaction, we will gladly replace them if you will but write 

 us. Look over our Handbook carefully, note the good things, the 

 reasonable prices, and free premiums, then send us your order. 



We were very much pleased to receive such an exceedingly large 

 number of letters from our customers written especially to tell us 

 how very much pleased they were with our promptness, accuracy and 

 liberality in filling their orders; the valuable premiums given 

 them with their orders, and how very fine the vegetables and 

 flowers were that grew from our seeds. This inspires us greatly, 

 for our constant aim is to grow and give to our customers seeds 

 that will grow better and produce purer, richer specimens than any 

 others, and we are accomplishing this. The steady continuous growth 

 in every department of our business is the best testimony as to the 

 quality of stocks we send out. 



Th en w e d o- fio^ -ecsk e-^i^rh-i tm^ t-^ t c o s t v e r y mu ch 



more to grow and produce the best stocks--yet our prices are much 

 lower than almost all other reliable seed houses. 



As another endorsement to our earnestness to best serve our 

 customer's interest we guarantee to replace without any charge 

 whatever seeds that fail to germinate if in the opinion of our 

 customer it was the fault of the seed. 



The premiums we offer, are, as one of our customers to whom 

 we sent a sprayer as a premium said, extraordinary and worth the 

 price of the whole order. 



There is not one person to whom we send our catalogue who is 

 not able to secure the Premium Measuring Tape. It is a splendid 

 article needed constantly and we give it free with an order so small 

 as 25 cents, for any kind of seeds in packets. We expect to give 

 away at least 50 , O00--don' t miss yours. 



Note our new Cantaloupe--''Bur r e 1 1' s Gem^'' on the back cover page, 

 from test made ws believe it to be the most .delicious melon yet ^ 

 iiitroduce(i--siirpassirig e-^-eii the luscious Rocky Ford. 



We anticipate a very large increase of orders and are fully 

 prepared to fill all orders in full having grown a larger acreage 

 of all crops. 



?Je want your order---if jou send it, to us we promise to fill 

 ±tf no matter"if large or smallj promptly? oarsfully, liberally and 

 with none but new crop seeds. L^et us hear from you aa early as 

 possible. 



P. S . "•-Semsiiiber to Advise us of any changa in your address* 



Yours very truly, 



HOLMES SEED COMPANY,
