''Puget Sound Seed Gardens 
LA CONNER, SKAGIT CO., WASH., Jan. 1, 1914. 
Greeting to All: 
We send you this TWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL Catalogue of the Best Seeds 
for your use, hoping you will favor us with your esteemed orders for such Seeds, 
Plants and Roots, as you may need in our list. Whether you are an old customer, 
or a new one, be your order large or small, we will give it prompt and careful 
attention. We have the largest Mail Order Seed business in the Northwest, and 
try to fill each order on the day it is received. We have a Deputy Post-Master 
Clerk, so that the P. 0. Department takes the Packages of Seeds from our Seed 
Store, without the delay of having to go through the Post Office, but go directly 
to the Mail Car. We find the Postal service very reliable, but if you should not 
receive promptly, notify us, so we can find out what has gone wrong. If you do 
not get them promptly, the chances are that you have forgotten to sign your 
name, or to put a stamp on your letter. 
Our Seeds will save you many Dollars, by reducing the "High Cost of Living." 
A good Garden will enable you to live high, at low cost, and reduce your Grocery 
and Meat Bills. Also Doctor Bills, as Vegetables and Fruits are healthier than 
too much meats. The best and only way to have a good Garden, is to use good 
Seeds. If you have never tried our seeds, ask some of your neighbors who have 
used them. We promise to keep them as good as, or better than they always have 
been in the past. We wish it to be distinctly understood, however, that we do not 
grow all our seeds here ourselves, but such as we do not grow here, we have 
grown for us by experienced Growers, in such localities as the best seeds can be 
grown. 
With each order for seeds by Packets, Ounces or Quarter Pounds, we will 
put in a Free packet, for each 50c of your order, if you will say what kinds will be 
most acceptable to you. But this does not apply to the Special Offer Collections, 
nor to pound orders. 
Thanking each and every one who helped to send us so many thousand Orders 
last year, and hoping to hear from you all again, and your neighbors with you. I 
beg to remain: 
Yours Sincerely, 
A. G. TILLINGHAST. 
(For Instructions for Ordering, see next page, which I hope you will read 
very carefully.)
