TJo Our friends and {Patrons 
W E offer our little catalogue for the season of 1912, and ask for it a care- 
ful reading. We have just completed the third year of hard growing 
crops and there will of neccesity be a shortage in many lines, and we shall 
appreciate it if you will place your orders as early as you conveniently can. 
We shall make every effort to take good care of all orders entrusted to us, 
let them be large or small, and hope to give perfect satisfaction. 
We have decided to offer a very liberal premium this year, and in 
addition to the regular seed premium offered, at 30 cents’ worth bf seeds, on 
all orders of $1.00 and upwards, if you request it we will send one rose 
with all orders of $1.00 for seeds 
in packets, two roses with seed 
orders of $2.C0, and any three 
you may select with a $3.00 order; 
on a $5.00 order you may select 
any six roses you wish. The 
roses may be selected from Floral 
Culture and will be sent as soon 
as the weather will permit. 
This is a splendid chance for 
the boys and girls to get up a 
club and get their own rose gar- 
den for nothing. But please re- 
member the order for the roses 
must come with the seed order 
so that we can book them and 
get them out as early as the 
weather wi.l permit. 
This is our nineteenth year 
in business and we wish to thank 
our many patrons for their loyalty and patronage as well as the kindly 
words so many have spoken for us to their friends. Remember our entire 
efforts are put forth in giving you the best seeds that can be grown. We 
use no expensive seed bags (we know they are pretty but you don’t plant 
the bags) and it is our earnest desire to keep expenses down that we may 
still give you the best seeds for the least money. Do not forget to look 
over the vegetable seed list and start a little garden of good things to eat. 
Very cordially yours, 
CARRIE H. L1PPINCOTT.
