OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS 
Will rejoice with us in the above official notice that our exhibit of Onr Own 
Grown Seeds received one of the A.-Y.-P. Gold Medals. We are pleased to be able 
to report this token of successful effort in this, our TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL 
LETTER, with our QUARTER CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY CATALOGUE. 
This, with the list of highly complimentary testimonials from our customers from 
every county in the State (see pages 1 and 2), nicely rounds out our QUARTER 
CENTURY of service in supplying you with good Garden Seeds. Last season was 
the busiest and best we ever had yet. We had nearly 2,000 more orders than 
ever before. We are preparing for a like increase this year. To do this we must 
keep our old customers and gain many new ones. Please do not disappoint us, 
and we will promise to give you the "Best Seeds of the Right Kind for jonr use," 
and endeavor to make them better and better. We are growing old, but our seeds 
are always new. 
NOTICE 
We are very glad to he able to say: — None of our seeds were lost or damaged 
by the floods. Our fields of Cabbages, that we were wintering over for next year's 
seeding, were flooded, but with the exception of some that floated away, may 
make good crops yet. However the next year's crops may turn out, all of our 
this year's crops and stocks of Seeds are safe and dry. In our Seed Store. 
Please call upon us for what you may need in our list. 
Awaiting your esteemed commands, I beg to remain, 
Yours very truly, 
Puget Sound Seed Gardens. A. G. TILLINGHAST. 
La Conner, Skagit County, Wash., Jan. 1, 1910.
