A Word to Gardeners and Farmers 
Our stock is selected with the greatest possible care, both as to trueness to variety 
and germination test, and while in common with other seedsmen we cannot guarantee 
the resulting crop, our customers may rest assured that they can get no purer or better 
seed anywhere than from our stock, and our nearness to you makes both for the per¬ 
sonal desire to please customers whom we know and often meet, and convenience to 
you in ordering and quick delivery. If you will place your orders with us we feel sure 
that you will abandon the sending to some far off city for that which you can buy to 
better advantage closer at home. 
Another thing to which we desire to call your attention is the limited number of va¬ 
rieties we list in our catalogue. These are the tried and true kinds that have been thor¬ 
oughly tested and can be depended on for both market and home garden crops. Very 
few people can tell the difference, if there is any, between much of the fanciful named 
varieties and those of the old standard kinds, and we feel sure that the average gard¬ 
ener will fare better to select his seeds from this super-quality line of seeds than to ex¬ 
periment with those that have fanciful names and may be adapted to a different cli¬ 
mate or condition than you have, if you are going to plant the seed to get the expected 
crop, rather than as an experimental garden. 
AS TO WARRANTY 
We exercise care to have all of our seeds pure 
and reliable but in growing, buying, shipping, 
cleaning and handling seeds, and in growing the 
crops from them so many things may occur over 
which we have no control that we, in common with 
all other responsible seedsmen, do not give any 
warranty, express or implied, as to the description, 
quality or productiveness or any other matter of 
any seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, and will 
not be responsible for the crops. 
FREE DELIVERY 
The prices in this catalogue include delivery, or 
prepayment by Parcel Post, of seeds to amount 
of 5 lbs. or less and bulbs, plants, nursery stock, 
etc., unless stated to the contrary. 
SAFE ARRIVAL GUARANTEED 
We guarantee safe arrival in good condition, of 
all shipments. In case any shipment shows damage 
on arrival, be sure to have the mail carrier or 
freight or express agent give you a statement to 
that effect which send to us, or in the case of 
of freight or express shipments make your claim 
to the delivering agent at once. 
Don’t order shipments to ‘‘Stops” or a station 
where there is no agent, unless you send full pay¬ 
ment and enough more to pay the transportation. 
Jansen’s Selected Lawn Seeds 
Beware of Cheap Seed—Cheap grass seed mix¬ 
tures are abundant and they invariably contain 
large percentages of cheap grass seeds—seeds that 
grow quickly but ruin the appearance of your 
lawn. Timothy seed—the cheapest of all is often 
the principal component of these mixtures. 
JANSEN’S FAVORITE LAWN SEED —Pro 
duces a thick, velvety, green carpet of unrivaled 
beauty, and forms a deep-rooted sod that with¬ 
stands hot dry weather, and which tends to choke 
out weeds with its heavy luxuriant growth. This 
superb mixture is without a peer for making new 
lawns or thickening up old lawns. Composed of 
heavy recleaned seeds of short fine leaved grasses, 
and a small amount of White Dutch Clover. Price,
