Clone personal care and systematize^ effort last year 
enabled us to handle without friction a volume of business we 
were not wholly prepared for the previous year. The high 
standard of prompt and excellent service achieved in 1804 
will be maintained. 
In our Seed Department we ask your consideration of our 
exhaustive tests in trial grounds for superiority of strain as well 
as for per cent, of germination, described on pages 10 and XX. 
Those who are interested in Horticultural or Agricul¬ 
tural'Societies, or in all that makes for the best in flowers 
and vegetables, are invited to examine page IX. 
Through our custom of handling only the most approved 
article of its kind, our Hardware and Machinery Depart - 
me tit has won an enviable reputation, and every one knows 
that when the best is wanted “that 9 s B reek's.” 
We have very considerably increased\ and developed the 
Woodenware Depart merit included in our purchase of Parker 
& Wood’s business, and the same regard for quality and 
reasonableness iff price is observed in this department that 
obtains generally throughout our establishment. 
Our Bureau of Registry and Information, see page 22, 
has done much to improve the service on farm and garden, 
and is a very considerable help and convenience to our patrons. 
The growing importance of poultry products in this 
country (eggs alone representing four times the value of its 
silver mines’ yearly output) has encouraged us to increase our 
Poultry Supply Department until we have, probably, the 
largest and most complete stock of foods, implements, 
machines, remedies, etc •, for poultry-men that the world 
affords. Jireck’s Poultry and Swine Meal and Breck’s Eureka 
Egg Food hare become household words. Our “ Points for 
Poultry Raisers,” 52 pages , tells how to care for the flock in 
health and sickness. Mailed free. The second edition is 
nearly exhausted. 
We are thankful for the generous patronage heretofore 
given , and assure our customers that the utmost care and 
fidelity will be exercised in promoting their interests.
