A PROPOSITION W ELL 
WORTH YOUR CAREFUL CON. 
SIDERATION. 
We will take pleasure in duplicating all FIRST PREMIUMS offered in 
1897 by any Horticultural or Agricultural Society in the United States, 
that may be secured with the produce of seeds or bulbs purchased of us. 
WE WILL PAY the amount on presentation of the certificate of the society’s 
award, accompanied by a statement that the seeds from which the prize 
winners were grown, were BRECK’S SEEDS. 
This offer is copyrighted. 
Our purpose in making this unique offer is threefold : 
1 st. We aim to awaken a greater interest in Horticultural and Agricultural Societies, and to increase 
the competition at their Exhibitions for the premiums offered. 
2nd. We hope that the enhanced value of the First Prizes — our offer, you observe, doubles each 
one — will result in the production of better specimens exhibited, through the planting of high- 
grade seeds and more intense cultivation; and that by demonstrating possibilities, stimulate a 
purpose on the part of both gardeners and farmers to raise better, and, therefore, more profit¬ 
able crops. 
3rd. We believe that the Flower, Vegetable and Field Seeds and Flowering Bulbs offered by us are the 
best strains in the world, and \ye wish to encourage those who are not acquainted with our goods 
to ascertain it by experience. 
If you are successful in obtaining any First Prizes with the product of Breck’s Seeds (Cereal 
grains excep ed) or Bulbs , send us the society’s certificates of such prizes (which certificates will be re¬ 
turned to you), together with any particulars of cultivation, or other matter of interest, and we will send 
you a sum equal to that.awarded by the society. The same specimens must not be entered in more than one 
class or show, and if awarded specific prizes they cannot also be included in collections. We do not dupli¬ 
cate prizes offered for arrangement of exhibit. 
Persons who intend competing for prizes must secure the necessary seeds or bulbs direct of us.
