We are herewith presenting a descriptive catalogue of the more promi¬ 
nent varieties of vegetable and lawn seeds which we distribute. 
We have endeavored to make the discriptions given here in as true as 
possible. We have not given, we feel, any discription over-praising any 
variety and we have not hesitated to state where undesirable characteristics 
prevail. We hope that the material, measurements, days of maturity etc., 
will be found convenient for reference* 
We have not listed near all the varieties of the various kinds of the 
different vegetables grown. We are listing herein only the better and more 
popular varieties, these we believe, are the more profitable ones to offer 
the trade- 
We do not grow our own seeds. We believe this to be advantageous 
to us in as much as we are enabled to secure better seeds from growers 
throughout the United States and Europe. Our individual growers specialize 
in growing the particular varieties they grow for us, thereby giving us 
better seeds without a huge investment in warehouses and growing stations 
throughout the country. 
To give our trade some idea of where we obtain our seeds* Our corn is 
strictly all grown in Northern Ohio, Bush Beans, Idaho; Lima & Pole Beans, 
California; Vine Seeds, Colorado; Cabbage, Turnip & Beets, Washington and 
Imported,, Carrots, Radishes, Spinach, Cauliflower & Special Strains of cer¬ 
tain varieties, Imported. 
During our 41 years of experience we have found that the only way to 
secure the better strains of certain varieties is to obtain them from cer¬ 
tain growers who have devoted their entire attention to develop superior 
strains. 
SERVICE* We are proud to state that we have never failed to ship a 
fill in order the same day it was received. Our shipping facilities enable 
us to insure second morning delivery from the time of receipt of your order.
