lave favored us by coming to 
an- beautiful, garden graced England; 
know fully well the surpassing beauty- 
and charm of its flowers. 
You American 
we understand, sometimes 
think of us as being a bit stolid, and lacking in 
enthusiasm. But surely no nation so enthusias- 
tically fosters, or more genuinely love flowers. 
Every little town has its liberally patronized 
flower shows. 
In this exceptional environment, the Sutton 
family have been growing, developing and per- 
fecting seeds for generations. 
Very naturally, it has resulted in being more 
than a business with us. It is a life work of 
genuine pleasure. 
This pleasure we would share with you in the 
wonderful charm of our flowers and the surpass- 
ing varieties of our vegetables. 
Let us send some Sutton Seeds to you this 
year. 
Our Catalog — One of the finest published — 
will lie sent for 35c.; which will be refunded 
when your orders amount to $5 or over. 
To you who are gardeners, if you will send 
us your name and name of employer — the catalog 
will be sent free.
