Ordering Seeds in Quantity to Sell 
We frequently receive orders from Women’s Clubs, Civic Leagues, 
and other organizations, for seeds in quantity, to sell to the children. 
This is not a very satisfactory plan, as you have no means of antici¬ 
pating what the demand will be for the various kinds of seeds, and will 
invariably have a quantity left on your hands at the end of the season. 
This is unpleasant and discouraging. 
A Much More Satisfactory Plan 
A much better plan, that will be less trouble, and more satisfactory 
in every way, will be to secure the individual orders before ordering the 
seed. 
We have special literature, order blanks, etc. that have been carefully 
prepared to facilitate this work, eliminating confusion, and unnecessary 
trouble to those having the matter in charge. 
The Public Schools are the most satisfactory mediums through which 
to accomplish the work. Fill out the enclosed post card, giving number 
of teachers, and pupils in your city, or school. 
We will supply free of charge one 48 page booklet like this, for each 
room, and one illustrated order blank for each child. Request the chil¬ 
dren to take these order blanks home and have their parents help make 
their selections of seeds, returning the order blanks, with money, to the 
teachers. 
All orders for each room should be kept separate, and each school 
also separate. The seeds will be delivered to you prepaid, each individual 
order in a large sealed envelope, with order blank attached, and each room 
and school packed separately and labeled, so that there need be no delay 
or confusion in distributing them when received.
