SPECIAL NOTICE: 
:VITALITY OF SEEDS 
All perishable varieties of Vegetable Seed sold at prices herein mentioned which are carried over 
by our customer), this oominff year will be replaced free of charge next season. This applies to all 
Vegetable .See<l packets, whether sold in boxes or otherwise. 
For the guidance of our customers, below will be found a Vitality list, and if you have on hand 
purchased from us in former years, packets of any varieties running beyond the date of vitalits', we will 
replace the same free of charge this season on notification. 
The following .schedule gives the length of time that seeds will grow freely. It is true that 
some varieties will keep even longer than the period mentioned, but their vitality will be greatly im- 
paired. Parsley and corn salad will grow more freely the second year than the first, and cucumbers, 
melons and squashes produce larger crops from seeds two years old than from the new, from the fact that 
they make less growth of vine and set their blos.soms more freely. 
Seeds of all kinds should be kept in a dry situation and in sacks in preference to barrels.

A^ARQUIS^ WHEAT 
The holder of the world's championship. The gold mine of the western farmers. 
The earliest maturing wheat known. The heaviest yielding variety on the market. 
Its Baking quality is unsurpassed. 
200 bushels from a 4 acre Held. 66« lbs. to the bushel. 
What Marquis Wheat means to the western farmers, with the short sea- 
sons and early frosts, only the western farmers know, and to find a wheat 
that would ripen before the first frost and still give a heavy yield has been 
the aim of farm seed experts for years. 
Marquis wheat is recommended as the most promising sort at present 
available for farmers who require a hard red wheat of high baking strength, 
ripening ten days earlier than Red Fife. Send for circular and sample of 
the new wheat. Put up in sealed bags only.
