JOE’S SEED BULLETIN 
New Crop Seed 
New crop flower seed are beginning to be received, and 
more than 40 varieties are listed in this Bulletin. Again let 
me advise you that it is my practice to distribute only seed of 
the current season s crop. Many varieties of seed have not 
yet ripened, and in those cases I offer last year’s seed. Soon 
as the new crop seed is received the old crop seed is thrown 
away. So far as I know I am the only person in the business 
who adheres to this policy, the only person in the business 
bom whom you can get this year’s seed for fall planting. This 
accounts for the exceptional vitality of the seed I distribute, 
this and the fact that this seed is grown by flower lovers in 
private gardens, is harvested by hand and only the best seed 
saved. 
Fair Warning 
Let me warn you again, that many varieties of the rarer 
seed come to me in small quantities only. As soon as the 
supply is exhausted these varieties are taken from the catalog. 
All summer and fall I list many of these rarer varieties, var¬ 
ieties which do not appear in the spring Bulletins. So if you 
wish to make sure of getting these it is necessary for you to 
act promptly. Many varieties which I offer for two cents in 
the fall, you cannot get for less than 25 cents in the spring, 
Seed Sent Free 
As rapidly as I can reorganize my business to meet cer¬ 
tain conditions I am going to quit selling seed entirely, and dis¬ 
tribute it free. My plan is this. You see the chief c ost of 
this distribution is the expense of printing and distributing the 
Bulletin. If those of you who want the seed will pay the cost 
of distributing the Bulletin, 1 can distribute the seed as sub¬ 
scription prizes. Just to try this out I will send you 20 pack¬ 
ets of seed of your selection, free, with a subscription to the 
Bulletin at 50 cents. Or 40 packets and the Bulletin two 
years for $ 1. 
Daffodils 
You will find a general list of Daffodils, Lilies, Tulips, 
Bulb Iris and other bulbs offered in this Bulletin. I handle 
but few of them myself. Orders for Daffodils, except King 
Alfred bulbs by weight, should be sent to the Better Bulb 
Club, R. 5, Olympia, where they are grown and handled for 
me by Aaron Kanouse.
