LIBERAL PREMIUMS 
Take Notice — Extra packets of ■ seeds will be 
allowed on every purchase of seeds, plants or 
bulbs from my catalog (except Lawn Grass 
seed, on which prices are net), but the selec- 
tion must invariably accompany the order. 
Orders sent at different times cannot be taken 
together to entitle one to a premium. See 
opposite page for particulars.

vegetable seeds will be given free with every 
order for vegetable^ seeds amounting to 10 cents 
or over. 
My "Culture of Flowers" 
Price, 5 cents, or Free with Orders of 25 cents

It Is not enough to sow seed. It must be 
done right and under proper conditions. My 
booklet tells you how to do it. It is practical, 
not technical; for the amateur, not the profes- 
sional; and even the least skillful can under- 
stand and follow its simple yet comprehensive 
directions. To cover part of the cost, I make 
a nominal charge of 5 cents. Free, if asked 
for, however, with any order of 25c or over. 
Cortland, N. Y , July 13 —1 have been your customer 
three years, and as I won two first prizes at our Fair you will 
not wonder that 1 am enthusiastic over them. From one pack- 
et of Sweet Williams I have every imaginable color, and my 
Canterbury Bells, in every shade of blue pink and white, can- 
not bear up their o%vn weight of bloom. Mrs. Lottie Babcock. 
Cheat Haven, Pa. Mar, 13 — "I have been your customer 
ten years and am well pleased. I have 11 colors of Primroses 
and they certainly are pretty. Mrs. N. J, Arnold." 
Smith's Creek, Mich., Mar. 13— "I have used your seed 
3 years. Pansies and Asters were grand and at present Ciner- 
arias are beautiful." Mrs. C. C. Brock. 
MY THREE WARRANTS 
1. I Warrant Your Remittance to Reach Me 
If sent by either postoffice or express money 
order bank draft or registered letter but by 
no other method. You -may select extra flower 
seeds in packets to the amount of the cost of 
sending money by any one of these methods. 
If you remit by stamps or silver, it will be 
at your risk. If stamps are sent use one 
or two-^^nt stamps, and do not stick them to 
your letter. It is comparatively safe to send 
small amounts of silver, but it should never 
be put loose in the envelope. Sew it between 
pieces of blotting paper or cloth. 
2. I Warrant My Seeds to Reach • You, 
provided I receive your order. If you do not 
receive them promptly, please notify me not 
later than two weeks after the date you sent 
your order, and give date and enclose duplicate, 
of which you should always retain a copy. 
You should receive your seeds within two or 
three days of the actual time it takes the 
mail to come and go between the two points, 
as I aim to fill all orders within twenty-four 
hours of their receipt (except plant and bulb 
orders. See pages 46 and 51 in regard to 
bulb and plant deliveries). 
Promptness is my motto: Try me. If you 
do not get your seeds it is from one of the 
following reasons: 
Why You Do Not Receive Your Seeds. 
a. No address given. I receive manv orders 
without signature or postoffice. Be sure' to sign 
your name and give name of office, 
b. Insufficient address. If there is mail de- 
livery do not fail to give street or rural 
delivery number. 
c. Indistinct writing. Take special pains to 
write name and postoffice distinctly. 
d. No title given. Lradles should always give 
title, Miss or Mrs., especially if Initials only 
are signed, 
e. Fault in Postal Service. Sometimes let- 
ters fail to reach me, and sometimes packages, 
even when properly addressed, are lost or mis- 
carried in the mails, 
3. I "Warrant My Seeds to be Good. 
No one can promise that seeds will grow, 
nor do I, as so much depends on conditions. 
I know by actual testing that my seeds are 
good, but if any failed to grow for you last 
year and you think that the failure is due 
to lack of vitality .in seeds and not to some 
other cause, you may feel at liberty when 
placing your order with me this year to Include 
such varieties. Seeds of Greenhouse Plants, 
Which generally require special care, are 
excepted from this offer to replace. A new 
order should accompany application for seed to 
be replaced, and please refer to date or 
number of last spring's order in which it was 
included.
