COLLEGE OF AGRICULT'.'P 
Permit us to salute you, and to thank you, and to rejoice for the confidence you have given to us in the past 
Another year is added to the arc of life. Still, it is our ambition to serve you; to show our faith in your works of progress; 
and to help you to make new discoveries in nature. It is our wish to be a volunteer auxiliary in your service, so as to increase your 
forces in the works of the future. As time advances we shall improve in confidence, get nearer to your hearts, and always supply 
you with the best Mother Earth can produce. In this way are we going continually to work for you and to claim a share of the 
work of development in the garden of opportunities you so deligently watch over. 
None of us can hope for more than to make two blades of grass grow where only one grew before. Yet, the magnitude of 
the task is seen in the growth of the movement among the people who wish to see the country developed according to the laws of 
nature. The people wish to improve their families, their homes and their country. Is not this a right idea of progress? Is not 
this the road on which we are all moving ?

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, quantity or productiveness of any seeds

ated in this catalogue will be executed and sent out only on these conditions
