WE DOUBLE IT 
We will take pleasure in duplicating all First Premiums 
offered in 1900 by any horticultural or Agricultural 
Society in the United States, that may be secured with 
the product of Flower Seeds or Bulbs purchased of us. 
WE WILL PAY the amount on presentation of the certifi¬ 
cates of the society’s award, accompanied by particulars 
of cultivation, and 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. 
2 d. We hope that the enhanced value of 
these First Prizes will result in the pro¬ 
duction 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 growers to attain 
the highest standard of perfection. 
3 d. We believe that the Seeds and Bulbs 
offered by us are the best strains in the 
world, and we 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 B reek's Seeds or 
Bulbs , in accordance with the offer we make above, send us the society’s certificates of such prizes 
(which certificates will be returned to you), together with the particulars of cultivation, and we will 
send you a sum equal to that awarded'by the society. This offer does not include designs, baskets 
of flowers, vases of mixed flowers, etc./but applies only to exhibits of specific varieties to which 
prizes are awarded for their superior excellence, resulting from cultivation or selection. The same 
sped metis 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 duplicate prizes offered for arrangement of ex¬ 
hibit, or for mixed exhibits. 
Persons who intend competing for prizes must secure the necessary seeds or bulbs direct from us. 
Results of “We Double It.” 
From the large number oi persons who applied to us, in accordance with our offer to Double 
all FIRST Prizes, secured with the product of Breck’s Flower Seeds or Bulbs, we have selected six, 
at random, and give here the results in detail : 
Mrs. Wm. Bain, North Chatham, N. Y., secured, on Sept. 18, 1889, at Rensselaer County Fair, 
$24.00, as first prizes on Assortment of Cut Flowers, Basket 01 Cut F'lowers, Everlastings, Tuberoses, 
Phlox, Asters, Verbenas. At Columbia County Fair, the same month, she was also successful with 
Basket Cut F'lowers, Potted Asters, Verbenas, Sweet Peas, Phlox Grandiflora, Marigolds, Zinnias, 
Helianthus, Diauthus, etc., on which the sum of $14.25 was paid her. Against these two exhibits we 
sent our check for $38.25, making Mrs. Bain’s total prize money $76.50. 
C. W. Exo, of Hannibal, N. Y., obtained “firsts ” for Ten Week Stocks, Dahlias, liverlastings, 
Sweet Peas, Zinnias and Asters. The sum we sent in this instance was $11.50 
Mrs. II. A. JONES, Worcester, Mass., was awarded, at Worcester County Exhibition, $11.25 011 
Dianthus, Display of Cut F'lowers, Sweet Peas, Zinnias, etc. We, of course, duplicated the amount. 
To B. M.. Lixdsley, Monticello, N. Y., we paid $7.50 to equal the awards made him at Sullivan 
County Fair on Asters, Marigold, Mignonette, Antirrhinum, Balsam, Centaurea Cvanus, Verbenas, 
Cockscomb, etc. 
The Worcester County’s Horticultural Society’s prize for Ten Week Stock, was lifted by Mrs. 
| S. H. RECORD, of Worcester. Our check made $6.00 the value of the award. Another exhibitor at 
j the Worcester County Horticultural Society’s Show was II. B. Watts, of Leicester, Mass. He took 
the three leading prizes for Asters in the professional class; also for the best Nasturtiums, Scabiosa 
i and Marigolds tabled. We paid him $16.00. Mr. E. A. WEEKS, Worcester, surprised the public with 
the Hollyhocks he grew from Breck’s Silver Medal Strain, and obtained the Worcester Society’s first 
| prize for them. 
F'irst prizes cannot be had without careful attention and skill in cultivation ; neither can they 
j be produced unless well bred, pedigree strains, such as we offer, are planted. The few examples we 
here quote of what has been done with the product of Breck's seeds is sufficient to demonstrate that 
thev are the best obtainable. We trust those who have heretofore been disappointed in securing 
satisfactory results will, in 1900, 
GIVE WRECK S SEEDS A TRIAL.
