DEAR FRIEND: GREETING. 
This catalog is sent you either at yoxir request, or at the suggestion of a 
friend of yours and one of my patrons. 
I bespeak for it a careful examination. While it is modest in appearance 
and size, you will find a full and carefully selected list of flower seeds, to- 
gether with the standard spring bulbs, plants and vegetable seeds. And you 
will find the prices not only reasonable but lower than in the majority of 
catalogs. I can afford to do this and yet furnish the best seed because of my 
methods, preferring 
( 1 ) To put the value into quality of seed rather than into expensive col- 
ored bags; and 
(2) To give a proportional amount of seed. Most people do not CEire for 
so much of one kind, and you can thus get a greater number of varieties for 
the same outlay. 
May I not have the pleasure of serving you also? 
Should it happen that you receive two copies of this catalog, kindly hand 
one to some friend who grows flowers. 
Yours for the love of beautiful flowers, 
EMMA V. WHITE, (, over )
