To Farmers and Gardeners. 
I invite all who have been in the habit of buying their 
garden seed from boxes left at tlie stores to give my seed a 
trial, side by side, and mark the difference ill their germin¬ 
ating, and in the purity and quality of tlie vegetables raised 
from them. I have made it my mission for several years 
past to drive bad seed from tlie market, and so save farmers 
and gardeners llie immense loss they annually suffer from 
the purchase of it. 
The public have well appreciated my efforts, and 1 have 
now fltty thousand customers in tlie United States and Can¬ 
adas. I Bell no seed I do not warrant, and what is the real 
pitli of the matter I stand by my warranty. To enable me 
to do this I grow myself a large proportion of tlie seed I 
sell. Catalogues sent/ree to any applicant.
