The Reason 
You have no doubt wondered many times why it is that there are so 
few firms in the seed business, and why all of the more successful ones are 
old firms. One of the reasons is that years are required to build up a repu- 
tation for reliability and fair dealing. Reliability requires, besides honesty, 
a knowledge of seeds and of the world’s markets. Both of these are essential, 
the one to protect you in quality, the other in price. 
hi many of the older firms the business has passed successively from 
father to son for several generations. In our own case we may say that our 
present heads were born in the business. 
We have been successful, because we have made our large number of 
customers our friends and well wishers. From time to time as conditions 
have warranted we have added new departments. Our new Garden Seed 
Department has been a success from the start, thus showing that in adding 
this department we supplied a much felt need in Central Kentucky. 
We have received the most hearty encouragement from our friends who 
are as unstinted in their praise of the quality of BRENT’S PREMIUM 
GARDEN SEEDS, as they have always been in their praise of BRENT’S 
PREMIUM FIELD SEEDS. 
You will find the quality of “BRENT’S PREMIUM SEEDS” this season 
up to their usual high standard, this too, in spite of adverse growing condi- 
tions for some crops. Our prices are low as is consistent with the quality 
of our seeds. 
We believe it to your interest to 
place your orders early.
