CARD TO BUYERS. 
"We are informed that some "Watch Dealers are misrepre' 
senting the quality of onr watches in the Interest of other 
watches on which a larger profit is made, we desire to call 
the attention of buyers to certain facts which should inspire 
renewed confidence in the superior qualit and unrivaled 
cheapness of WALTHAM "WATCHES. "We have an experi- 
ence of sixteen years, and our advantages are the natural 
result of the precedence we acquired in the trade and the 
proportions to which our manufactory has attained, making 
now twice as many watches as all the other manufacturers 
in this country combined, and as no industrial law is belter 
established than that which cheapens the cost of an article 
in proportion to the magnitude of Its production, we are 
enabled to offer our watches at less rates, quality for quality, 
than any others made in this country. 
The conditions which make this cheapness possible are 
also favorable to the excellence of our watches. 
We have the best workers in every department that are 
available, and with machinery perfect aud ample, we make 
by far the finest grade of watches made in this country, sur- 
passing all other American watch manufacturers by our 
ability to offer buyers the largest variety from which to se- 
lect any style that may be required. 
Our watches have long been the leading article in their 
Hue, and are sold by nearly all respectable jewelers at a 
moderate profit. 
With these facts as a basis the Company confidently appeal 
to watcli buyers to insist on having their preferences for 
Waltham Watches respected by that small portion of the 
trade whose hostility to them arises from the fact that they 
are sold at less profit than any others. 
Buyers should also be on their guard against purchasing 
worthless Swiss Watches, bearing colorable imitations of 
our trade-marks. 
Not satisfied with copying our trade-marks as nearly as 
they dare, the Swiss manufacturers send large numbers of 
their refuse to this market marked "Union Watch Co.," 
"Massasoit Watch Co.," and "Great Western Watch Co.," 
and other deceptive American names. Any dealer who 
recommends these watches as genuine American Watches 
means to cheat if he can, and when represented to be as 
good as the genuine the object is, of course, to sell them for 
three or four times their real value. 
Buyers who do not know responsible jewelers should send 
for our descriptive catalogue, which contains much useful 
information to watch buyers. 
No watches retailed by the Company. For all other facts 
and information, address

HOW CROPS GROW. 
A Treatise on the Chemical Composition, Structure, and 
Life of the Plant. With numerous illustrations and tables 
of analyses. By Prof. Samuel W . Johnson, of 
Yale College. Price 52.00. 
This book is a guide to the knowledge of agricultural 
plants, their composition, their structure, and modes of de- 
velopment and growth; of the complex organization of 
plants, and the uses of the parts, the germination of seeds 
and the food of plants, obtained both from the air and the 
soil. Very full and accurate tables of analyses are given, 
and tables of the proportions existing between different 
principles, oily, starchy, or nitrogenous, in the same and 
different plants. The book is an invaluable one to all real 
students of agriculture. 
Another work by the same author is now in press, enti- 
tled " How Crops Feed," In which the subject of the Food 
of the Plant is amplified in all Its details, and the atmosphere 
and the soil arc fully discussed in their manifold relations to 
the Plant. 
PRACTICAL FLORICULTURE, 
A guide to the successful propagation and cultivation of 
Florists' Plants, By Peter Henderson, author ol " Gar- 
dening for Profit." Beautifully illustrated. Price $1.50. 
Certainly the most practical and desirable work that has 
ever been published on this subject. We arc selling them 
rapidly. Some no doubt will say that it exposes the "se- 
crets" of the Trade too freely, and that it will make Garden- 
ers and Propagator;* so plenty that our occupation, like 
Othello's, will be gone.— II. A. Dueer, Seedsman and Florist, 
Phila., Pa. 
Full to overflowing with valuable Information. 
Francis Richardson, Toronto, Canada. 
Thoroughly practical, yet readable as a novel.— N. Y. Snn. 
Just the work for the young Florist or Amateur, as it tells 
him Clearly there is no such thing as failure, if its simple 
teachings arc followed.
