B LANDRETHS’ 
To all who have occasion to purchase Seeds: 
It is manifest that from Good Seeds only can good Vegetables ge ob¬ 
tained ; yet we see those who exhibit sound sense in most affairs of Me, 
heedlessly purchase seeds of doubtful quality and character. The superior 
character of LANDRETHS’ has been substantiated beyond all question. 
We therefore invite all who are not already purchasers of Landreths’ Seeds 
to give them a trial. Those remote from Druggists, Grocers and others 
selling our Seeds, can be supplied by us direct at reasonable prices. 
Ask your Storekeeper for Landreths 9 Seeds in original sealed 
Packages, or drop a Postal Card for prices and catalogue to
