, OU can send in your orders as you receive them, (or you can send all in one order,) and at the close of the season they can be added together. On Septemlftr xst, 
* 1888, the cash and books will be sent to the tortunatc prize takers. The names and post-office address of each person winning these prizes w'ill be published in my 
next annual catalogue. It will not require a very large order to secure one of these prizes, last year I had but one seed order that exceeded $15.00. The hardest 
part of the woric in securing one of these prizes will be to get the f;rst two or three orders, a few hours work will insure you one of above cash gifts, besides the 
club-raiser has the benefit of my large discounts on orders. Remember that for $10.00 you can select seeds of plants to the amount of $16.75, two premium 
books are not taken). No other house offers such liberal offers and terms to club-raisers. Some of my customers arc going to receive these cash premiums, and 
why should you not be one of the number? Nearly every house that yqu visit will -want either plants or seeds; your orders can be made up of cither plants alone, 
or seeds alone, or they can be combined in one order. 'Thcro arc no better seeds in t,he market than the ones that 1 offer, and my plants give universal satisfac¬ 
tion, as you will notice by referring to some of the complimentary letters found .scattered through my catalogue. You need no further instructions than to take my catalogue 
andf visit your neighbors and solicit their oHers. I would advise that you send me fifty cents for wmeh amount I will send you $1.00 worth of Flower and Vegetajilc Seeds '(of 
my selection), these can bo used to good enfect as samples. See list 01 discounts on page 3, and also on pages 69 and 86.
