SELECTED NORTHERN GROWN VEGETABLE SEEDS 
ORDER EARLY:—Early buying is very much to the advantage of both the cus¬ 
tomer and the dealer. We would recommend sending in your order as soon as possible 
after receiving the catalogue, and thus avoid the rush of the planting season. Orders can 
be handled easier and much better than later. The customer gets his goods in much 
better condition, without delay, and consequently has them when they are needed. 
Seeds sent by Mail, Express or Freight as the purchaser may wish. Seeds in packets 
and ounces mailed without extra charge for postage. When ordering by mail, add postage 
for beans, corn and peas. See Parcel Post rates on page 1.
