To Our Patrons:— 
In presenting this 1911 Seed Book, we wish to thank our customers for their most liberal patronage in the past. 
The enormous increase in our business during 1910 so far exceeded our expectations that we have been obliged to 
greatly extend our facilities to enable us to give our customers the most prompt and satisfactory service this season. 
The results obtaine 1 f om our seeds in the past have certainly been astonishing. Just imagine a tomato plant grow¬ 
ing to the enormous height of twenty feet. This is just what Mr. J. B. Gilbert, of Richmond, Ind., did with our World’s 
Giant, as shown on the front cover of this book. This is only one instance in many thousand where our seeds have proved 
unexcelled in quality and productiveness. We spire neither time or expense to investigate the merits of all the new and 
choicest varieties of Seeds, I J Jilts, Bulbs, New Fruits, et:., and in looking ove.r this Catalogue we doubt very much 
if you can find another seed farm in this country that offers a more up-to-date line than we do. For instance, The Giant 
Himalaya Berry, shown on the back cover, is one of the greatest won lers in the berry line the world has ever known. 
The Pan-American Strawberry is another marvelous introduction that has taken years of hard work and careful study 
to produce. 
You will.find this book completely filled with valuable new things in Vegetables, Fruits and Flowers, and bargains 
that will surprise you. Our seed crops have been good the past season, and we have, with few exceptions, an abundance of 
all varieties offered, to take care of our customers. Our order department has been greatly extended and improved, so that 
we are in hopes this season to be able to fill every order within forty-eight hours after it is received, even in our busiest time. 
Our shipping facilities are excellent, and we can assure our customers that any order entrusted to our care will not 
only be filled promptly, but Rushed, and filled with the best seeds that grow. 
Trusting we may be favored with a liberal share of your future patronage, we remain 
Very Sincerely Yours, 
_ FAIRVIEW SEED FARMS, Inc.

at least one-half the amount of the order and we cannot ac¬ 
cept C. O. D. orders for less than $2.00. Bear in mind that 
C. O. D. shipments cost more than ordinary express charges. 
Writ e You r Na me and Address Plainly. 
Many customers do not understand that this is very impor 
tant as we usually receive hundreds of orders with addresses 
so poorly written that we are unable to read them. This al¬ 
ways causes delay. 
Order Early. is our aim to fill all orders within a 
—. ■' day or two after they reach us, but this is 
frequently made impossible by a great rush of business about 
planting time and we advise all not to wait until the seed is 
needed before ordering. However, we promise to give all 
orders our very best attention no matter when received. 
We Make No Charge for Pack ing and Cartage. 
We make no charge for Packing, Bags or Boxes, and deliver

upon receipt and if they are not found as above, we will re¬ 
fill the order, free of charge, providing sufficient proof is 
given us within a reasonable length of time. We cannot 
guarantee crops and will not be held responsible for them, or 
for any liability other than as above, and if our goods are 
not accepted on these conditions, they must be returned at 
once.
