SEEDS 
that WILL 
GROW! 
A Y EXPERIEYCE of nearly THIRTY Years in 
the Flower and Vegetable S eed business has 
convinced u» that there are but TWO KINDS 
OP SEED in the world, viz.: those that will, and 
those that will not, grow. The former are price¬ 
less—the latter worthless. The sale or utterance of 
worthless Seed, through cupidity or lack of business 
standing, raises sad havoc with the business of legi¬ 
timate Seedsmen. For nearly thirty years past we 
have made the growth and procurement of NONE 
BUT GOOD SEED a study, until we are 
proud to say, foreign or native seed growers from 
whom we procure such of our supplies as we do not 
raise upon our own farms, never think of offering us 
any but First-Class Seeds. To this one point 
we attribute our success, and the universal verdict 
of the Press and People is that Seed procured 
of BRIGGS & BRO. WILL GROW. 
To give customers the benefit of our own actual 
experiences, we issue an ILLUSTRATED 
Quarterly FLORAL WORK, which is sent 
to any address prepaid for the mere nominal sub¬ 
scription price of 25 cents, which amount is rep laced 
to the credit of the customer on receipt of an order for 
$1 or upward worth of Seed. We send no seed that 
we have not first tested, therefore it is perfectly safe 
to buy such as we recommend. Our January 
Number, containing several hundred engravings 
and much useful information to the amateur or pro¬ 
fessional gardener, will be out about December loth. 
Send for it. Descriptive Price Lists, Circulars, 
&c., sent free by mail on application.
