I can Import or buy, as chance offers, much of this seed at 
about one half of what it costs me to raise It, bat 1 do so 
that 1 may k/ioio what I send out and be able to warrant it 
fur punty and freshness. The great risk with all seed that a 
dealer Imports or buys of others is, that the dealer knows 
onlv what is told him of the careful selection of seed stock— 
and the freshness and purity of the seed, while the person 
who oilers it. though often times reliable, mat/ be careless 
tgno;aut or dishonest, and if so, you who plant It have to 
suffer, as the dealer can only reaffirm what is told him ; but 
if the seed dealer grows his own seed, then he Is able to 
affirm what he himself kn<»rs, as to its purity and freshness. 
He selected the stock, planted it, gathered the seed, and pre- 
nai eti It for market, ami thus, vuu who plant it have this in- 
valuable Lrnarantv from his own knowledge of It. Iris thai 
I mat/ be able to aire this guarantee that I grow so many 
ruin tif.s at double what it would cost me to purchase many 
of them, while at the same time the public will not find my 
prices for standard seeds higher than those of other dealers 
of repute. There are many varieties which I have to import, 
and others that I have to purchase from growers; with these 
I use my best judgment and experience for the security of 
my patrons. 
If the public wish to encourage this enterprise (which I 
dmiht not.) and procure their wad' direct f>/ from the grower 
I invite a continuation and fair increase of the patronage 
that they have heretofore so liberally bestowed.
