I T IS customary in the quest for business to “toot your own horn.” 
It is not our intention to take up your time with exaggerated 
statements, but in a condense way to give our reasons for expect- 
ing your patronage. 
W E ARE the oldest and largest Seed House in Central Kentucky, 
the name Brent having been identified with the seed business 
for nearly half a century. We speak of the age of our busi- 
ness as it shows clearly two things — that the quality of the seeds— 
and our treatment of our customers — has been such as to warrant a 
continuance and increase in the business, from year to year. 
T HIS YEAR we have added a WHOLESALE Garden Seed De- 
partment. We believe in adding this department that we are 
filling a much needed want in Central Kentucky, for a strictly 
wholesale Garden Seed House. 
A S THE seedman’s success depends upon the success of his cus- 
tomers, it would be a short-sighted policy that would admit of 
the shipping of any seeds not of the highest quality or not giv- 
ing the best of service and treatment. 
S EEDS are grown the world over. Different countries and sections 
each provide some seeds of especially fine quality. No one sec- 
tion provides all the different Garden and Field Seeds, for this 
reason all large seed merchants are assemblers of seeds. 
T HE C. S. BRENT Seed Company, with its central location, is 
especially well situated to draw its supplies from all sections. 
Many of the seeds we handle are grown in Europe where they 
mature to the best advantage. 
O UR PREMIUM BRAND of FIELD SEEDS has been well and fa- 
vorably known for many years. Our Premium Garden Seeds 
will be of the same high quality and will unquestionably give 
you satisfaction. 
L OCATED here is the Agricultural Experiment Station of the Ken- 
tucky State University with which we keep in close touch. Any- 
thing new that is recommended by the Station we secure at 
once for the benefit of our customers. 
ITH the splendid shipping facilities of Lexington — its numerous 
railroads and traction lines and our large stocks, we can at all 
times give the best of service. 
W E do not sell at retail and have no retail department. We will 
be glad to send you a number of these Manuals for distri- 
bution to your customers, but their orders we want to come 
through you. 
EMEMBER that your success is our success. We hope that 1916 
will prove a profitable year for you and that we may hear from 
you many times. 
Yours sincerely, 
The C. S. Brent Seed Co., Inc. 
Lexington, Ky.
