To Our Friends 
E 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 plan 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 cts. per quart to the Catalogue price, and for Corn at the 
rate of 10 cts. 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 Bridge- 
port, the purchaser to pay all other transportation charges. 
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 suc- 
cess, although we take all possible care to supply only such goods as, under proper 
conditions, produces satisfactory results. We give no warranty as to description, qual- 
ity 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 condi- 
tions 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.
