To Our Friends 
|GAIN we are calling your attention to our seed catalogue. It is larger and more complete in 
every way than our previous edition. We desire to thank our many customers for their 
liberal patronage and good will in the past, and also to thank them for their kind words, as 
they have expressed their appreciation of the goods we have sold the last season. 
Our steadily growing business shows us that we are on the right track in selling Home- 
grown Seeds. It is unfortunate for dealers and raisers of seeds that we have so many dry seasons, and 
our last season was probably the worst of them all. 
This has cut down the quantity of seeds raised which has necessarily raised the price of many varieties, 
which is unfortunate for all. We shall hope that the coming season may be one more desirable in every 
way to both grower and dealer. 
HOW TO ORDER. Write orders plainly; be careful to mark the name of seeds desired as well as quan- 
tity in a plain manner so that there can be no misunderstanding. We advise the buyer in all cases to pre- 
serve a copy of his order, as it may save trouble which is liable to occur through misunderstanding, and be 
sure and state whether to be shipped by freight, express or mail. 
ORDER EARLY. To avoid any uncertain delay liable to occur late in the season we advise early 
orders. Do not wait until planting time to make up your list, but send it in early with date of shipment, 
and then you will be sure to receive the goods as you want them. 
PROMPT ATTENTION. Every order for seeds will receive prompt attention. If for any cause, delay 
in shipment is found necessary, acknowledgement of the order will be made, and the reason of the delay 
stated. At the earliest possible moment the goods will be forwarded as per directions. 
SEEDS BY MAIL. We will pay the postage on all the small seeds in packets, ounces, quarter-pounds 
and pounds that are purchased from this Catalogue. For Peas and Beans add at the rate of 15 cents per 
quart to the Catalogue price, and for Corn at the rate of to cents per quart when ordered by mail. When 
on account of bulk or weight, goods cannot be sent by mail, we will deliver free to express or freight offices 
in Bridgeport, the purchaser to pay all other transportation charges. 
Non- Warranty 
Most of the failures in seeds are due to causes beyond our control, such as unfavorable weather or soil 
conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which renders it impossible for us to guarantee success, 
although we take all possible care to supply only such goods as, under proper conditions, produce satisfac- 
tory results. We give no warranty as to description, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, and will 
not be in any way responsible for the crop; every order for articles named in this Catalogue will be executed 
on these conditions only. It must, however, be plain to every one who gives the matter the slightest thought, 
that it is to our best interest to send out only such stock as will not only grow, but prove true to name 
and description. All seeds that we sell are tested.
