Questions Answered, Hints to Club Agents, Etc. 
DEAR FRIENDS. THIS CATALOG Contains All Particulars in regard to 
my Seed Business. Every question suggested in my 2 f> years experience is answered and 
made plain. Read my Catalog and you can make no mistake: so go right ahead and send 
me your own—or a Club order, and select the Premium you wish, or if you prefer discount 
deduct one-third for your share. This big discount applies to everything offered. 
PLEASE Order Early. This is VERY Important. 
I AM A SPECIALIST. I do not catalog or sell 
the hundreds of poor and worthless sorts, it would 
be folly to grow them. My Seeds are high grade- 
tried and true, all gilt edge varieties (incomparably 
better than those usually offered ) all in large Packets, 
with directions for planting. I send valuable “Extras” 
l always my selection j free with every order. 4®" My 
Selected Seeds are NEVER sold in bulk. 
MY SEEDS are tested and known to be extra qual¬ 
ity. They will grow. If any fail to please I gladly re¬ 
place free. I want you satisfied. No Seeds are ever 
returned. I have no half size packets. All prices are 
rock-bottom. I KNOW you cannot do as well else¬ 
where. Many have tried it—but are glad to come back. 
MY PREMIUMS or Discounts are on Everything. 
You can take your choice. If Premiums—full catalog 
price must be paid. If Discount is preferred—deduct 
one-third. If no Premium is ordered—or Dis¬ 
count taken, I enclose a PREMIUM COUPON good 
toward any Premium. Do not lose them. 
I NEVER SELL Premiums—but give them for 
orders. They are for the sole benefit of my Custom¬ 
ers and Club Agents. Every one is EXTRA quality— 
f lood as gold [ some ARE gold. ] They cost you abso- 
utely nothing. Dear Friends*,—I only ask in return 
that you show them and my offers to your friends. 
NO TOBACCO Seed sold. It is the Devil’s own 
weed. I do not believe it right to grow the vile stuff, 
to use it or sell it. It leads to drink and kindred evils. 
Millions of good boys have been ruined by it—their 
bodies dwarfed, and bright intellect stupefied and 
deadened. God never gave a human life to be pollut¬ 
ed in this way. Boys, DON’T begin. Don’t be a slave. 
REMITTANCE MUST accompany each and ev¬ 
ery order. These are my ONLY TERMS. I keep 110 
accounts. I NEVER sell on credit, or commission, or 
C. O. D, Don’t ask it for it is an “Old Fogy” plan. 
4®=* No one can give you half as good bargains as I do 
any such expensive way. If you have no money—get 
a friend to advance some for a few days. 
LITTLE THINGS. Sign your name and address 
to every order. 1 have orders 1 cannot fill because I 
cannot GUESS where they go. Write plainly with ink, 
it may save mistakes. Don’t cut up your catalog: they 
cost money. Give the extra one to jour friend. I 
would gladly do as much for you. 4®” Three packets 
for 25 cts. may be ordered of any 10 c. variety— or 6 Pkts 
for 25c. of any 5c. variety. 4&“ Club Agents be sure and 
mention this when taking orders. Please send for 
more catalogs and circulars if you can use them. 
MI STAR ES. With all my care I sometimes make 
mistakes: so does every one. I earnestly desire to cor¬ 
rect every one here in this life—for 1 can never return 
to doit. If everything is not right please do me the 
kindness to write and explain—pleasantly if you can. 
but write anyway. I don’t want you dissatisfied. 
ORDERS FILLED PROMPTLY. This is my 
“hobby,” There is no delay here. Sometimes there 
is a few days delay in the mails. Don’t be in too much 
haste to complain. Wait a little, and before you write 
ask your Postmaster to look well for your package, as 
they are often too large for the boxes, and may be laid 
one side and overlooked. If necessary to write, be sure 
and state WHAT you ordered, WHEN, also AMOUNT, 
and in WHAT WAY you remitted, so it can be traced. 
ALL CLUB ORDERS are sent direct to Agents. 
Put YOUR name and address ONLY on the order to 
save mistakes. [ Should you wish part mailed to dis¬ 
tant, Postoffices, write such orders, name and address, 
each on A SEPARATE SHEET. 1 Please make club- 
orders large as possible. A HINT. Many Club Agents 
take eggs, etc., in payment when parties have no mon¬ 
ey—and thus largely increase their orders. These are 
readily sold for cash at any grocery store. Try it: 
TO CANADA (and Foreign) Customers. I have a host of 1 
Canada friends who have found my extremely early, hardy vari-, 
eties admirably suited to their short seasons—producing the most 
bountiful crops. 1 send everything fully prepaid, (except big 
Freight Premiums) but do not pay duty which is sometimes re-' 
quired on some of the goods. ©2“ I alway add Extras to pay this.
