EGGS. 



Your selection of anv species, either in sets, 

 singles or 2d class, listing at $1.00 or under at 

 Lattin's -'Standard Catalogue" prices. When 

 selecting this premium you must always name 

 ettras to be used as substitutes to the full 

 amount of your order. If the selection of eggs 

 is left entirely with us we will send$l 25 worth 

 instead of $1.00 worth— and you can if you wish 

 suggest whether your prefer eggs of eastern, 

 western, northern or southern species or 

 whether you wish eggs of land, sea or fresh 

 water species. 



SCIENTIFIC SHELLS. 



Your selection from species listing at $1.00 or 

 under as offered in Lattin's Shell List in his 

 June ('95) Bulletin. When selecting this pre- 

 mium "extras" must always be named to fully 

 equal the amount of the order. If the selec- 

 tion of scientific shells is left entirely with us 

 we will send you shells that will list at Ward's 

 prices to the amount of $1.50 instead of $1.00, 

 and if you desire you may name the families 

 from which you especially desire your selec- 

 tion to be made and we will comply with your 

 desires as near as possible. 



SHOWY SHELLS. 



Any species catalogued at $1.00 or under m 

 Lattin's old pink catalogue— always name a 

 few extras when selecting this premium. If 

 you are not familiar with the names of shells 

 it is advisable and always more satisfactory 

 to leave the selection with us.
