To Our Friends 
take pleasure in presenting our seed book. It is larger and more complete in every way 
than our last year’s edition. We first 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 sold last season. Our steadily growing business 
shows us that we are on the right track in selling Home-Grown Seeds. Connecticut being right in the seed 
belt of the world, enables us to get our seeds from the growers, and, in this way, we are always offering 
to our customers fresh seeds at low prices. 
HOW TO ORDER. Write orders plainly and be careful to mark plain the name of seeds desired, 
as well as quantity. It is a good plati for the sender to preserve a copy of the order, as it may save trouble 
which may occur. Write name and post-office address, town, county and state very plainly. 
ORDER EARLY. To avoid any uncertain delay, liable to occur later, we advise early orders. Do 
not wait until planting time to make up your list, but send it forward in good season. 
PROMPT ATTENTION. Every order for seeds will receive prompt attention. If, for any cause, 
delay in shipment is found necessary, acknowledgment 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 10 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 entirely 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 
satisfactory 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.
