^^f’HIS, my 15th Annual Catalogue, comes to you, not just as its predecess- 
III ors have, claiming flower seeds alone and exclusively, but at the very 
urgent request of many of my patrons, I have added a small list of garden 
seeds. Many persons are now growing their own small vegetables, in 
their own gardens, and enjoying them so much, it seems almost a necessity to 
give a list of true and tried varities, such as you can grow successfully. 
Three years ago I started a small list of Roses and Plants in Floral Culture, 
and they have pleased beyond my greatest hopes, I can only hope my, Vegetable 
Garden will prove equally acceptable. 1 have tried very hard to select only the 
choicest varieties, in both Flower and Garden Seeds, so that I may keep the 
same little, plain, concise, and I trust attractive catalogue that I have issued for 
the last 15 years. That my efforts have been appreciated, 1 can only believe by 
the steady increase of my business. 
Last year was my first year in my new home, and I want to thank you all for 
making it a successful one. The month of March was a bad one as far as 
weather was concerned, and a great many of you delayed sending your orders 
until April, which gave me such a large business in April , that it made it 
difficult to handle the orders, with the promptitude which I always claim. So 
please remember this year, no matter how cold and stormy the winter and early 
spring may be, that planting time is very close, and the first, soft warm days that 
come, you will wish so much that you had ordered your seeds, that you 
might be ready as quickly as the ground could be prepared for them. 
1 have been so very much gratified with the pictures submitted for prizes this season. This is the third year I have offered 
prizes for the best yard grown from my seeds, and each year the number of contestants have increased, and 1 find a marked 
improvement in the yards. I am pleased to see among the pictures quite a number from the same parties who sent last year, 
as well as the year before, and remember if you are not awarded a prize again, it is because there were other pictures which 
seemed to show a little better results from seed sown, and not because you were in the contest last year. Keep on trying, it 
will do us both good. 
On page 48 you will find a list of the successful competitors for this year’s prizes, also the offer for 1907 contest. 
There were quite a number of pictures submitted this year without competition cards. 1 am sorry to say we were obliged 
to put these aside as it was impossible to enter them without cards. 
Once more 1 want' to thank you all for your hearty support and encouraging words for the last 15 years, and I trust I shall 
be able to serve your needs for as many years in the future. Very sincerely yours,
