The Only Bargain in Seeds Is in Quality,

The Ideal Way to Purchase Seed Is 
Through Your Seed Catalog 
You can at your leisure make selections of the vegetables and flowers 
best suited to your needs. Descriptions are full and accurate with recom¬ 
mendations as to the most modern and best varieties. We do not hesitate 
to drop old and obsolete varieties when new and better ones appear to take 
their place. No high pressure salesmanship is exerted and the seeds are 
delivered by your postman or by express or freight. By ordering as nearly as 
possible from the seed grower you receive seeds that have been through the 
fewest possible hands with less liability of mistakes and the lowest possible 
price consistent with the quality of the seed supplied. 
Experienced Growers Buy the Best Seed 
After all, the price paid for seeds amounts to very little compared with 
that expended in the growing and harvesting of your crop. The difference in 
price between the best seed and poor seed is slight but the difference in 
results may be considerable. The only bargain seed is in quality. 
In most cases there is no way you can tell the variety, trueness to type, 
productiveness or hardiness by examining seed. You may readily pass on 
the sample; and germination tests can easily be made for viability, but you 
must depend upon the grower for all of the other important considerations. 
We are constantly putting forth our best efforts to supply seeds of the 
highest quality. The seeds we offer are the best we know how to grow, or 
secure from the world’s best growers. 
We would appreciate receiving the names of your friends who grow gar¬ 
dens and will send extra seeds with the rest of your order for this favor. 
Order blank will be found in the back of our catalog.
