If you can make NO use of this CATALOGUE, please hand it to a friend who wants to buy good seeds. They cost 
»e a large sum of money and I want every one to do some good. 
A7 THE BEGININNG of another year I am, dear friends, most happy to meet you and cxtera 
to you all a hearty greeting, and take this opertunity to thank you tor the generous patronage you 
have seen fit to so liberally bestow upon me. I can only linger ozer the record of the past year long 
enough to note the substantial advance in every department of my trade. My customers have added to 
this practical endorsement bv FAIRLY O VER WIILRMING me with testimony ofthe high jua l 
ity of the seeds in which 1 deal. My PROS PECTUS for the coming season is short, viz: I SHALL 
DO MY BEST. Thoroughly believeing in the old adage, “A POUND OF PL UCKIS IVOR TH 
A TON OF LUCK:' 
I shall only look for that measure of success which I deserve. I shall advertise what I have to offer, 
especially by giving large circulation to this catalogue, in which I have endeavored to present the un¬ 
diluted cream of the subject in an attractive way. The enormous inquiry for the catalogue indicates 
that my former efforts have been appreciated, but I stand ready to mail this one to a much larger cir¬ 
cle of readers, and lo all who write for it, cither for themselves or their friends. I am confident that a 
careful examination will show you that, no matter where you have been accustomed to deal, it zoill 
bay you to purchase your seeds of me. This is the theory I have taken as a basis in growing and lay¬ 
ing in my present extensive and valuable stock, which I claim to be every thing in quality it should 
be, but, as to this point I prefer referring you to the commendations of those who have spoken from 
experience in the past. But most of all I look for an increase in my trade, in the fact that every order, 
ses it comes to hand, will be filled with promptness, care and liberality, under my personal supervision. 
Wishing every one a happy and prosperous year, I am. Very Respectfully, Yours.
