To Our Customers 
We are pleased to present you our New Seed Book which contains a great selection of the best varieties 
of Vegetable and Flower Seeds, also many Rare Novelties, with some of the choicest new Fruits ever in¬ 
troduced. 
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 have a very complete growing system so that all our Seeds are grown in sections of the country 
where they will develop and ripen to give the strongest vitality. 
We do not sell our seeds to dealers, but offer them at wholesale prices to our customers through this 
Seed Book, which is the only salesman we have. 
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. We 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 number of varieties as some, 
it has all the very best, and everyone will be found reliable. 
Our crops the past season have been very satisfactory on nearly all varieties, and we have in stock the 
choicest lot of Seeds we have ever had, all plumb, heavy and of strong vitality. You can order anything 
we offer at prices named in this Book and we can fill your order promptly and send by mail, express or 
freight. We guarantee to send you "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 strictly to the Seed business 
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, for we guarantee to please you.
