presenting my Catalogue for 1897 I take this opportunity of thanking my 
numerous friends and clients for their support and kind recommendations, which is the 
best proof that my endeavours to supply nothing but the best at a fair price, has been and 
is duly appreciated. The Seeds being raised on my own Farms under my personal supervision, 
I am able to offer them to you at a much lower price than is generally done : but Quality 
■before Quantity is my motto, all Seeds being tested and registered before despatching and 
I am sure are unsurpassed, as a large percentage of all seeds sold in England and America 
are grown about Erfurt which is surrounded by many thousands of acres of Vegetable and 
Flower Seed Farms. 
Indian and Colonial Orders receive special attention. It is important that seeds in these climates 
that are not sown immediately on receipt should be most caref'ully kept from the air which in many cases 
is very injurious to their vitality. 
Payment. Net cash with order by Drafts, Cheques, Postal and Post-Office Orders, but small amounts 
may be remitted in Stamps. Postal Orders preferred. 
Carriage. All Flower Seeds are sent Post free. Vegetable Seeds when ordered with Flower Seeds 
weighing up to 10 lbs. are sent by Parcel Post free. Paekage always free. Heavy Vegetable Seed orders are 
sent free to Flushing, Hamburg or Bremen where I have very reliable forwarding agsnts. The carriage from 
these ports to London is about 1 s. 4 d. per 100 lbs. 
Order Sheet. It is only necessary to use the numbers of the Seeds required together with the 
quantity. Please send your] order as early as possible. A further supply of Order Sheets and printed 
Envelopes sent on receipt of postcard.
