T HE first few pages of this catalogue will be de- 
voted to giving you such instruction in argu- 
ment and example as will permit you to convince 
all “would-be-customers” of the excellent investment 
we offer in the line of seed specialties. 
No man will be your customer unless you can show 
him that it is to his advantage, in dollars and cents, 
to invest with you. It should be your first duty to 
make yourself acquainted with these arguments in 
order that you may talk to your customers with the 
utmost confidence. 
The varieties we offer the public are the “CHOSEN 
FEW". Out of the scores of variet'es now in culti- 
vation, we know of nothing as good as the kinds we 
offer and our position in the trade enables us to be 
thoroughly well posted. We might handle many 
more kinds but they COULD NEVER RANK 
WITH THESE HERE PRESENTED. 
We have in every case tried to give a correct des- 
cription of each variety, so that customers can make 
an intelligent selection. It pays to buy THE BEST 
and “the best" is what we offer regardless of cost.

on our seeds, and customers pay us only when goods 
have been safely received ; and we guarantee all our 
seeds to be true to name and grow, to this extent, 
that if they fail in either particular, we will refill the 
order free at our next delivery. Other seed houses 
require customers to remit in advance and pay 
cost of transportation. Farmers should buy small 
amounts of several varieties, find out which are best 
adapted to their particular soil and climate and then 
grow their own seed. They can grow their own 
seed in quantities cheaper than anyone else can 
grow it tor them.
