The best advertising medium is a pleased patron. 
Small profits an<l fair aealing defy competition. 
iSP” Old seeds do not satisfy old patrons or make 
new ones. 
ZST" In our house a guarantee means something. If 
our seeds do not satisfy you we will refift your order. 
Should you receive more than one copy of 
our Catalogue please have the kindness to hand 
those you do not need to some one who is interested. 
Our Flower-seed List comprises the choicest va¬ 
rieties to be procured at home or abroad. All pack¬ 
ets not otherwise priced are but Five Cents each. 
Amounts not exceeding One Dollar may Ire sent 
in a common letter at our risk. If over one dollar 
Register the letter, or buy a Money Order and deduct 
the fee—10 cents—from the amount enclosed- 
• 
*2P In comparing our prices with those of other 
growers please do not overlook the fact that our quo¬ 
tations include the prepayment of postage. The 
amount we charge will bring our seeds to your door. 
£2P In writing to us never fail to plainly write your 
full Name and Address. Don't think that because you 
have written to us before, our clerks can remember 
where you belong or who you are. Tell us every 
time. 
£5P We accept Postage stamps when sent but contin¬ 
ually receive more than we can use. If you will send 
us even dollars in currency we will return your exact 
change. If you must send stamps, send one-cent 
stamps if possible. 
£3p We do not care to boast of handling more tons 
of commercial seeds than any other firm in the coun¬ 
try. We much prefer to sell a limited amount of 
pure fresh seeds to a few hundred good customers on 
whom we can depend after they have learned that 
they can depend upon us, than to flood the country 
with stock that we know little or nothing about. We 
think it better to sell seeds which are worth all you 
are asked to pay for them and live on a fan* profit, 
than to sell a cheap purchased article at a large mar¬ 
gin and then have to expend the profits in newspaper 
advertising in order to drum up new customers for 
the future. 
Agents Wanted. —For the purpose of introducing 
our seeds as extensively as possible we have made a 
magnificent offer, which you will see upon another 
page. We now want an agent in eveiy town to show 
our magazine and solicit orders under this offer. If 
you will get four of your friends to subscribe and pay 
50 cents each for the magazine and seeds, we will send 
you a fifth copy with seeds free for your trouble. 
Specimens free upon application. 
Our Office is now fitted up with a full supply of 
Presses and modern job printing materials sufficient 
to do all our own work and considerable job work for 
any of our friends who may want neatly executed 
price-lists, &c., at a moderate cost. II e give this 
publication as a sample of our work and invite corre¬ 
spondence from any one in need of job printing of 
any kind. Address all orders and inquiries to

Seed-Time and Harvest 
Clubbing List for 1S81. 
For many years we have taken subscrip¬ 
tions for the principal Journals of the United 
States, and especially those devoted to Agri¬ 
culture and Horticulture. By taking large 
numbers of subscriptions we are enabled to 
get publishers* lowest rates, and when we 
are enabled to do so we give our patrons the 
benefit of the deduction. In such cases our 
prices are frequently lower than any one 
could possibly secure except through a large 
club like ours. On some papers we can give 
no discount as the publishers have no club¬ 
bing terms, but we put them on our list be¬ 
cause we think they are well worth all they 
cost. We give below a list of standard pub¬ 
lications for which we receive subscriptions 
and the price of each. We club Seed-Time 
and Harvest with any of them for 15 Cents 
additional to the price in the second column* 
Please see if there is anytliing in this List 
that yon need, and, if so, we should be glad 
to receive your order. 
wgTTHE First Coloin gives the Publishers* 
price, and the Second Column our price.
