A Few Words to My Friends 
Bor more than ten years I was with Holmes Seed Co., and during 
that time it was a pleasure for me to serve you. I tried always to be worthy 
of the confidence you displayed in me, and in presenting to you this, my first, 
"little" Catalogue, announcmgthe beginning of my own seed business, I do 
, , so believing your confidence will mean your patronage. I will endeavor to 
serve you in an entirely satisfactory way. 
The Quality of My Seeds. Being in close touch with you who grow for 
market, I am able to appreciate just what it means to you to have good seeds and it is 
with some pride that I ofTer you now, and will always hereafter, the highest quality 
seeds, absolutly the best, direct from the farms of the best growers to myself, 
thus overcoming any possibility of errors and making sure that you get new crop 
seed— not old seed. 
New seed and old seed, good seed and bad seed when put side by side look 
very much alike. It is almost impossible to tell the one from the other by appear- 
ance, hence to know you are getting new crop seed and the best seed you must 
liave confidence in the man to whom you entrust your order, that he will give 
you nothing but the best. It is my purpose to prove myself worthy of such confidence. 
May 1 have your order? I know my quality seeds will please you. I have 
everything for the garden, lawn, farm, dairy and poultry. A complete line of 
Planet Jr. Garden Tools.
