Seeds in 1-4. 1-2 and 1 lb. Cartons sold at pound prices and Ic additional for eacli carton. 
We wish to rail your attention to our LitlioBraplied Cartons of I'eas. Beans ami Com. also Tur- 
nip Seed in M lb. Cartons. Tliese are very liaiulsoinety gotten up, as sliown in illustration here-with. in 
fact no firm in the Seed Trade has anythins to offer that is put up in a better style of package or con- 
tains goods of equal merit. The varietie.s used in these Cartons are the best of the standard sorts known 
in the trade tnday and nothing more suitable coutd be put up fur planting in the home garden. The 
packages are very attractive, and if well-displayed, will prove ready sellers in any general store. 
REASONS WHY A DEALER SHOULD PURCHASE CARTONS MADE UP R. AUY FOR SALE. 
1st. He obtains a more handsome package than can l)c made up from his own bulk, unless he 
were to go to a prohibitory initial expense in the way of stationery. 
2nd. Many or all of hi« customers call for a packet which will go further than the ordinary 
five cent packets sold by everyone. This our carton does and fills in a great want amongst Home Gar- 
deners who need more than a 6 cent packet contains and yet not ground to plant a whole pint. 
3rd. A dealer buying Peas. Beans and Corn in bulk has to put out considerable expense in 
labor and packing besides the waste of handling, before his goods are rea<ly for the custonu r, and even 
then they are not in such attractive shape as when put up in our Lithographed Cartons. 
4th. A great advantage in buying ready to sell is the liability from error. In the making up 
of 100 orlOOO cartons, we go once to our stock, a dealer in making his individual orders would go 100 or 
1000 times to his slock, largely multiplying the chances for error. 
5th. Remember when a dealer has call for a packet of Corns, Beans or Peas, he can just as 
easily sell a carton as a small packet and the profits on our cartons selling at 10 cents retail is 60 per 
cent on his investment.
