EVERYTHING FOR FARM, GARDEN AND LAWN 
On page XX we show a photographic reproduction of a portion of our trial grounds at 
Montvale, Mass., where were grown, season of 1894, over a thousand varieties and strains of 
garden and farm seeds. 
I he germinating power of all seeds sold by us is proven, in a tester especially constructed for 
the purpose, before any of them are shipped to customers. But our tests do not end here, as is 
customary with many seedsmen. Average samples of every lot of seed bought by us is drawn 
when received and, at the proper time, planted in the field and the crop matured', careful 
memorandum being kept as to weather conditions, time and percentage of germination, viability, 
fyp e ? character, and purity of strain. We also buy and plant, for comparison’s sake, all the 
much-extolled kinds offered by other dealers season after season. Thus we are enabled to observe 
and select for our patrons those of the highest excellence only. 
Vie devote almost two acres of fioor space exclusively to our seed business . We have a 
perfect knowledge of producers, and facilities for obtaining the very best of everything in our 
line. We have modern, steam machinery for recleaning, skilled help for handling, excellent 
greenhouse and field accommodation, under the care of a grower of large experience, for testing. 
These, coupled with our low prices, prompt service, and special delivery offers, make ours the 
most desirable seed and agricultural implement warehouse in New England to do business 
with . 
OUR GUARANTY. 
First. Our seeds are guaranteed pure and clean, and of the percentage of vitality named on the 
label accompanying and describing contents of each package. 
Second. I his guaranty is subject to the test and analysis of the botanist of any of the Slate ex¬ 
periment stations, and to properly authenticated complaint being made to us within twenty 
days from time of purchase of seeds complained of. If the result of the analysis does not 
confirm the guaranty, we will take back the seeds, and refund the money paid for them, 
and pay the cost of transportation both ways. 
Third.— Seeds once sown, or the above specified time for complaint having expired, our responsi¬ 
bility ceases. The results in field culture depend upon so many things besides the quality 
of the seeds, that the growth and crop cannot be guaranteed. 
The advantages of this method of guaranty will at once be apparent to the careful farmer; it 
will give security as to vitality, freedom from noxious weeds, and to some extent, confidence as to 
varieties planted ; in short, by obtaining seeds a few days before they are required for planting, 
you can have, without cost (for we assume expenses if results of tests are unsatisfactory), a war¬ 
rant against everything except the visitations of Providence. 
PLEASE NOTE. 
BAGS.— Persons remitting with their orders are respectfully requested to include a sufficient 
sum to cover cost of bags necessary to contain purchase. The prices of sound cotton bags are:

I he amount chaiged will be refunded if bags are returned in good condition free of expense to 
us, within one month from date of purchase.
