A WEEKLY PAPER FOR 
A N EXPERIENCE of nearly THIRTY Years In 
the Flower and Vegetable Seed business has 
convinced us that there are but TWO 14 IN OS OF 
SEED In the world, vise: those that will, and those 
that wlU not, grow. Tho former are prtqolcs* tho 
latter wnrthlo*#. The sale or utterance of worthless 
Seed, through cupidity or lack of business standing, 
raises said bnvoe with the business of legitimate 
Seedsmen. F r nearly thirty years past we have 
made the growth and procurement of NONE BUT 
GOOD t*EED e study, until we are proud to say, 
foreign or native seed growers from whom we pro¬ 
cure nil'll of our supplies as we do not raise upoD 
our own farms, never think of offering us any but 
Flrat-Ulnss Seeds. To tills one point we attribute 
our success, and tho universal verdict of the Press 
und Pooplo Is, that Seed procured oi BRIGG8 
«& brother will grow. 
To give customers the benefit of our own actual 
experiences, wo Issue an 1 I.LUSTRATEJJ Quar¬ 
terly FLORAL WORK, which Is sent to any 
address prepaid for the mere nominal subscription 
price of 25 cents, whloti amount is re-placed to the 
ore Ut of the customer on receipt of an order for $1 
• r upward worth Of Seed. We send no seed that we 
havo not first tested, there;fore it Is perfectly safe to 
buy such its we recoin end. Our January Num¬ 
ber, containing several hundred Engravings and 
much useful Information to the amateur or pro¬ 
fessional gardener, Is now nut. Send for It.
