Farmers and Gardeners I 
Many of yon have thns far found the purchase of Garden 
Seed the most niisatlsfactory and most vexing of ail your in¬ 
vestments. Now,!/" youwill’stnndbyme, I propose to change 
all this, and make a revolution In the seed business by my 
three warnint-s.-Ist. I will warrant my seed to be wdiat it 
purports to he In kind and quality: 2d. I will warrant tliat 
the monev yon send for seed shall reach me ; and 3d. I will 
warrant that the seed you order shall reach you. 
Thus, you sec. I take all the risks on myself. I know that 
In doing this I sli.all make some los.'-es, hut I have conlidence 
that the good sense of the farmers and gardeners of tlie 
United States will stand by me in this new mbvement, and 
so far Increase mv Inislness as to enable me to bear all such 
losses and continue the business on the “tliree warrants” 
basis Stand by mo and I will stand by you ! Catalogues
