To Our Friends And Patrons 
Have you ever thought of the great advantage it is to buy your Seeds direct from the grower ? Does 
it not look reasonable that a grower can sell better seeds at a lower price than the retailer or middleman ? 
By buying from the grower you get Fresh Seed at first cost, and it is sure to be superior to that which 
you buy at a store, or a city dealer who buys a stock whenever he can, not knowing the quality of seed it 
is, or whether it is true to name. If you have not done so, begin this year and buy your supply of Seeds 
from the growers and you will always do so. 
We are growers and sell our Seeds to anyone at wholesale prices through this Catalogue. We are 
always experimenting and testing everything in our trial gardens we think worthy of trial and are pleased 
to offer some very valuable varieties this year. We want you to try them, and for choice varieties you 
will at once see the prices are very low. W T e can do it because we have no commissions to pay dealers to 
sell them for us, and while our list does not contain as large an number of varieties as some, it has all the 
very best, and everyone will be found reliable. 
We are pleased to say we now have in store the choicest lot of Seeds we have ever had during our 
many years in the Seed Growing business. We produce these Seeds in different localities in the United 
States and Europe where the seed develop best, and they are all sent to our Warehouses here where we 
supply our customers direct by mail, express or freight as they order from this Book, and we guarantee to 
give “SEEDS THAT GROW” and give satisfaction at lower prices than any other Seed House. 
We are offering nothing but Seeds in this Book giving all our attention to Seed Growing and hope to 
supply all our old customers this year as well as many new ones. 
Please look our Seed Book through carefully and send us a trial order, and we guarantee to please you.

Everbearing Strawberry 
One of Our Great Berry Novelties 
YOU CAN GROW IT FROM SEED. 
Here is a New Everbearing: Strawberry that grows freely from 
seed and will fruit the first summer. The seed can be sown early in the 
spring in the house or hot bed and will soon produce young plants: seed 
can be sown later in open garden if desired. The plants grow very fast 
and in a short time will be large enough to transplant in the garden. If 
the seed is sown by March the plants will begin to bloom early in July 
and in from two to three weeks will begin to bear ripe fruit. 
The valuable point about this New Kerry is that from the time the 
first ripe fruit appears they continue to fruit until late in the fall. The 
Berries are not quite so large as garden varieties, but they are much 
higher flavored and of excellent quality and produced in various colors, 
red, black, white and a few of them will perfume a whole room on ac¬ 
count of their delicate fragrance. They are enormous yielders, single 
plants having produced over half pint of Berries atone picking’as late 
as October. They are perfectly hardy and will grow anywhere by start¬ 
ing from the seed. We know all our customers will be very much inter¬ 
ested in this New Berry, and people in the city or others who are lim¬ 
ited for space can grow the plants in pots, boxes or anywhere convenient 
and it will even fruit in the winter from plants raised in the house. We 
recommend all our customers to try this grand New Berry this year, 
as we consider it a Great Novelty. Think of it-grow Strawberries 
from seed and have delicious fruit all summer. Seed per pkt., Oc., 3 
pkts., 15c., 7 pkts.. 30c., postpaid.
