Hastings' Bargain Coiiections 
Of Vegetable and Flower Seeds 
There seems to be an increasing number of seed buyers each year, who prefer to buy collections of seeds, both vegetable and flower. 
There is a reason for this increasing popularity of our collections and that reason is that they give the purchaser greater value for 
their money than can be obtained from any other house in this country. 
Every variety in every one of these collections is a time-tried standard sort that has proven itself. There are no untried novelties on 
the one hand» nor are there any obsolete, out-of-date, ought-to-be-discarded varieties on the other. In each collection there are only 
such varieties as any one would be entirely satisfied to have in their gardens. Every packet in every collection is a full-sized packet, 
exactly the same sized packet and same quality of seed as if you bought each packet separately. 
You may wonder w’hy we offer seeds in these collections at lower or “bargain*' prices. The first reason is that it encourages the use 
of a greater number of kinds of vegetables in gardens everywhere, gets folks in the habit of having a greater variety of vegetables in 
their gardens and on their tables. The other and a most important reason is that time during the active seed selling season from Jan¬ 
uary to April is the scarcest thing there is about the Hastings establishment. During the dull months of November and December the 
seed in these collections are put up in the packets and the collections assemble<l. When the order comes during the rush season all 
that's necessary is to wrap the particular collection up for mailing, paste on an address label, stamp it and put in postoffice. It takes 
no more time to fill an order for a $1.00 or $2.00 collection than to All an order for an ounce of seed for 10 cents. 
These collections are not offered as premiums and no premiums are allowed on collection orders. Collection prices are strictly net.
