I KINDERGARTEN COLLECTIONS \ 
Our Kindergarten Collections 
give such pleasure to the school children 
that we have decided to renew the offer 
this year to superuitendents, teachers and 
pupils of schools exclusively. 
'I'he varieties we have selected are easily 
grown, attractive and especially adaj)ted to 
children’s gardens, either in the school yard 
or at home. 'I'hey consist of ten selected 
varieties of dower and vegetable seeds 
respectively. 
We send with each collection ten wooden 
labels on which the names of the different kinds are plainly printed, so that the young gardener may have a per- 
nanent mark lieside each sort during the season of growth. We al.so enclose j)lainly printed instructions as to the 
^est time and way to sow the seeds and care for the crops. 
We call attention to the fact that the seeds here offered are all of the best quality, and that the price we name 
for them scarcely covers the cost; consequently this offer applies only to the collections unbroken.

We append below a testimonial from Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Jamks W’. Brehaut : — 
Last Spring for the second time we distributed hundreds of your “ Kindergarten Collections ” of Jlcriocr and 
vegetable seeds among the pupils of the schools of this town. We offered prizes for the best gardens., and great 
interest was taken. The seeds were very satisfactory, and the results of the work apparent all en’er the town. 
More flowers blooming than n>er before and <i greater interest in beautiful surroiindtngs are some of the fruits of 
interesting the children in gardening. I shall be pleased to explain our whole plan to any of your customers who 
express a wish to kmnv it.
