Those who scut to me for s<*ed la-t year will vvvr 
writing for it. I make new and rart 
■ titivated on my three seed farms this season over 
fifty acres of *eeds and m-. 'arms are over a 
mile from each other, and the lb-Ids of two of them arc much

raised over 100 varieties of vegetable seeds the past season, 
including nine vai in - ■ I

cumber, fifteen of Corn, five of table Peas, nine of bush 
r.caiis, six of pole Beans, seven of Squash, four of Manuel 
Wurzel, t vr.. &C. 
I can import or buv, as chance offers, much of this seed at 
about one halt of what it costs me to raise it, but I do so 
that I may know what I send out and be able to warrant it 
!■>!■ purity and freshness. The -jreat risk with all sect that a 
dealer imports or buys of others is, that the dealer knows 
Oitlv what is t<>M him of the careful selection of seed stock— 
and the freshness : nd purity of the seed, while the person 
who offers it. though oftentimes reliable, uinif be careless,

at double what it would est m.- to purchase niaiiv

prices for standard seeds higher than those of other dealers

and others that I have to purchase from growers 5 with these 
I use my best judgment and experience for the security of 
my patrons.
