GROWN 
IN THE GOLDEN 
GRAIN 
BELT OF THE 
SPRING WORK IN THE GARDEN AND ON 
THE FARM. 
Spring is coming and the time has arrived for 
SEED-BUYING. It would not be wise to plant 
seeds just yet, but it is wisdom to begin to think 
about choosing and procuring the Seeds, Bulbs, 
Plants, Fruits and Trees which will be needed not 
many weeks hence, for spring is coming. It pays 
in various ways to procure what you will require 
as early in the season as practicable. It is also 
wisdom to get the best kmds. Let quality, rather 
than quantity, be what you aim at. Do not try to 
get cheap seeds. BUY NORTHERN GROWN, THE 
BEST FOR ALL CLIMES. 
The Largest Horticultural Establishment in the United States. 
In preparing the following list of Garden and Field Seeds, it has been our aim to have it include all of the standard varieties of the day, as well as 
such novelties as a careful test in our trial grounds has proved to us to be worthy of our unqualified endorsement. 
All doubtful sorts, or those which have become obsolete because of the introduction of new and better strains, have been carefully eliminated from 
our list, and our patrons can therefore make their selections with the assurance that they will receive seeds of the choicest quality only, and thus avoid 
the disappointment which so often follows the experimental trial of new and untried varieties.

contingent upon so many conditions of soil and weather, time and manner 
of planting, cultivation, etc., over which we have no control, that we can- 
not be responsible for the product, and give no warranty, express or implied, 
as to the description, quality, quanlity or productiveness of any seeds, 
plants or bulbs which we send out. Every order received for goods enu-
