RICE’S 
SEEDS 
WITH DESCRIPTIONS THAT TELL THE TRUTH 
TO OUR GARDENING FRIENDS: 
We have prepared this Annual for the use of our Merchant Dealers who make a specialty of 
seeds that thev may have a complete, concise and reliable descriptive Garden Annual for dis¬ 
tribution to their seed-buying customers. 
We do not have any retail department and request all our friends to place their seed orders 
directly with the merchant whose name is imprinted on the cover of this Annual. He will give 
you prompt and careful attention at all times. 
Our list of varieties is very extensive, up to date, and amply sufficient to meet every vegetable 
seed want. The descriptions given are accepted as standards. They are conservatively stated 
exactly as we have found the various stocks in our Trial Grounds. They may be depended 
upon. We offer nothing which we have not tested ourselves and proven, by critical test and 
examination, to be worthy of cultivation. Our facilities for practical testing are extensive and 
complete. Our trials are thoroughly and exhaustively conducted under expert, experienced 
supervision. 
Our seeds are the very best which untiring watchfulness combined with intelligent, painstaking 
care can produce. We are sure that no better seeds can be secured anywhere. 
It is vitally important to every purchaser of seeds, whether in large or small quantities, to know 
that the seeds will grow strongly and well; that they are pure and will produce true, perfect 
types of their kind. The original cost of the seeds is a small percentage of the total growing 
cost. The cheapest is rarely the best — but the best is always the cheapest. 
As +o prices, your dealer is in a position to sell you Rice’s Seeds as reasonably as you can buy 
seeds of equal quality elsewhere, and will take pleasure in quoting you either by mail or in 
person. Market Gardeners and other large planters requiring seeds in large quantities are invited 
to submit a list of their requirements to our dealer who will be glad to name special prices. 
We Do Not Warrant Seeds. The fact that no reputable seedsman now warrants seeds in any 
respect being well known, renders it unnecessary for us to say very much on this point, as it 
must be apparent to every intelligent person that no seedsman can afford to send out poor or 
worthless seeds. There could be no more certain way of destroying his business. We beg to 
append the following notice: 
While we exercise great care to have all seeds pure and reliable, we do not give 
any warranty, express or implied. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on 
these terms and conditions, they must be returned at once, and the money that has 
been paid for same will be refunded. 
Cordially yours, 
Jerome B. Rice Seed Co.
