RELIABLE ONION SliKDS.

I have on hand ready for immediate shipment, the 
largest and handsomest lot of new crop Onion Seeds 
that, I ever saw together before. While I think the 
prices quoted very low for such fine seeds, I will 
still shade them on large orders. This means that I 
do not intend to be undersold and would thank those 
desiring large lots to state the kind and quantity 
wanted and name the price they are willing to pay 
for a first class article, I will consider all fair < u". 
and render a prompt decision. 
SUPERIOR CABBAGE SEEDS. 
About ten years ago we established the most 
Northern Seed Farm in the United Slates, on Puget, 
Sound, Washington Pernio y, being about 3V£ de¬ 
grees, or 240 miles farther north than St. Paul, Min¬ 
nesota, or the extreme noi tnern portion of the state 
of Vermont. Having found that cabbages develop 
and produce seeds in that locality to a far greater 
degree of perfection tl an any where else in the 
Union, our forces there are kept working maiuly on 
that article. So universal and complete has been 
the wonderful satisfaction given by our Puget Sound 
Cabbage Seeds we have never, up to this time, been 
able to supply the demand for them at any price; 
but having greatly enlarged on the production we 
shall this season fill all retail orders for those va¬ 
rieties marked * in our seed-list from our Puget 
Sound stock. They are grokut from the very best 
stock seeds which we were able to procure, and the 
plants allowed to head up perfectly and the central 
shoot to start from these perleot heads to produce 
seeds. All who try these seeds will find that, they 
are remarkably large and plump, and that they will 
sprout and grow with far greater vigor than Eastern 
or Southern grown seeds. This is a great point in 
their favor, as all who are troubled by insects, which 
quickly destroy v r eak plants, will know. We have 
many patrons who have used them for ten years 
and will have no other when they can be procured; 
but being unable to supply the demand heretofore 
we have been compelled t.o purchase and use much 
Eastern grown stock, which, in some instances, has 
been very unsatisfactory. We now want every cab¬ 
bage grower in the Union to test our Puget Sound 
stock this season, in comparison with the very best 
lie can procure elsewhere at any price, and note the 
result. Order at least a small quantity of those 
kinds marked * in our price-list, and you will be 
convinced as hundreds of others have been that they 
are superior. 
SPECIAI, O SAFER TO SEED-BUYERS 
• I 
O u r quotations elsewhere in this issue are as low 
as seeds of such quality should be sold, yet to induce 
our friends to club their orders together and make 
them as large as possible we have decided to offer 
a discount of one per cent, for each dollar's worth 
ordered up to $25, if accompanied by cash. So you 
may figure a $) order at 5 per cent, discount, a $15 ! 
order at 15 per cent, discount, or a $25 order at 25 per 
cent, discount from prices herein quoted. This may j 
apply to the 5 lb. offer on Onion Seeds, thus making 
them come very low.
