Tho variet ies of Vegetable Seeds we oITer are confined to the very best standard and new sorts and are all that can be 
desired tor a family garden. We might catalogue a much larger list of kinds, but it seems useless, its those offered are of the 
greatest merit. We are proud to say that our Seeds have always given universal satisfaction and are excelled by none in 
point of purity, freshness and highly perfected qualities. The few varieties we offer wo intend shall be fur above the 
ordinary grades. Those who plant our seed can rely upon having choice vegetables. Nothing is a greater comfort or more 
S rofltable to a family than a good vegetable garden. It is drawn upon every day of the year for healthful and delicious 
ood. In point of quality, vegetables fresh from the garden have no comparison with those purchased in the markets, 
which have usually become wilted and stale before they reach the tabic. There is nothing like the pure art icle fresh from 
the garden. We eall special attention to our list, of vegetable novelties. Try them, and always boar in mind that it is as easy 
to raise good varieties as poor ones. All Seeds offered arc sent bj mail , postage ixiid, at price quoted.
