AN KXPEFJRNCR of nearly THIRTY Tears in the 
Flower and Vegetable Seed business has convinced us 
th.ir tliere are but TWO ICIIVDS OF SKED In the 
worhi, viz: tliose ttiat will, and those tliat will iii>t, i:row. 
The fornu'r are priceless— the h\tt<-T woitbless. The sale or 
utterance of worthless Seed, tliiuu^jh cupidity or lack of 
business standing, raises sad liavoc with the business of 
Iciiithiiate Seedsmen. For nearlv thirty years pjist we have 
made the growth and procurement of NOIVE ISTT 
GOOD SKE1> a study, until we are proud to say, foreign 
or uative seed gi-owers Irom whom we procnre such of our 
supplies as we do not raise upon our own farms, never tliink 
of otfering us any bst First-Class Seeds. To this one 
point we attribute our success, and the universal verdict of 
the Press and People is that Seeds proeiired of 
BRIGOS & BROTHER WILL GTIOW. 
To give customers the l)enefit of our own actual expert- 
«nee, we issue an ILLUSTRATE O (Quarterly 
FLORAli WORK., which is sent to any addreps pre- 
paid for the mere nominal subscription price of 'iri cents, 
which amount is re-placed to the credit of the custoiuer on 
receipt of an order for $1 or upward worth of Seed. "We 
send MO seed that we have not first tested, therefore it is 
perfectly safe to buy such as we recommend. Our Janu- 
ary \uinlM-r, containing several hundred Engravings 
andmucli useful inlormatinn to the amateur or prolesslonal 
gardener, is now out. Send for it.
