NO TOBACCO SEED. 
This Catalog is not smirched with of¬ 
fers of tobbaco seed— which helps to drag 
the boys ( and others ) down to degrading 
depths. Shame on every Seedsman who 
is base enough to offer it. I feel that all 
boys are my especial friends, and it is my 
earnest wish that they shun this nasty, 
deadly weed, and lead a clean, happy life, 
and be an honor to their parents and 
friends. Let us try to save the boys from 
being slaves and “stink-pots” for life. 
TO GOOD BOYS AND GIRLS. 
I want you to help me introduce my 
Pretty Temperance and Sunshine POST 
CARDS. They will do a world of good. 
People are tired of the stale and worth¬ 
less trash so much offered. 
The Sunshine Cards will prove an in¬ 
spiration and joy to all, and the Temper¬ 
ance Cards will save many a poor boy 
from the awful clutch of the tobacco hab¬ 
it—or a drunkards hopeless doom. Please 
help, and may God bless you. 
We are very much pleased 
with it, an<l thank you for your 
generosity. Vour seeds are 
excellent, and sure to grow.”

MY SELECTED SEEDS IN SEALED PACKETS ONLY. I sell my high-grade Seeds in large pack¬ 
ets only. as- They are NEVER sold in bulk. If you want a quantity of any variety, order 25—or 100 or more 
Packets, which with the Premiums, Discounts, and Extras will give you a better bargain than vou can possibly 
find elsewhere I am sure. Remember I sell Seeds f-r private planters and expert gardeners who desire ONLY 
THE VERY BEST. I do not—never have—and never will sell the cheap stuff grown from culls and rubbish. 
-A MARVEL OF VALUE. > 
Mr. A. T. Cook. Dear Sir: A 
The. Premium Organ you Mb 
gave us for selling your 
seeds is a marvel of value Vat 
— and it was so little t rouble ff 
to get it. We ha ve tested it /f 
beside three other Organs 
—one an $85.00 one. and have not 
found its equal yet;. 
We wish to thank you for the 
Instrument, and for your square 
dealing. I hope others will wake 
up and see how easy it is to win 
one of your fine organs.

MY “MUTUAL HELP” POLICY. My Business has grown with marvelous rapidity almost wholly by 
the kind words and influence of pleased customers. Only “Gilt Edge Seeds” and liberal dealing could bring 
this happy result. Customers tell their friends and nabors of my matchless bargains, and hand out my cata¬ 
logs and circulars with a kind word—and this helps much. They know that better seeds cannot be found at any 
piTce and few are as good. They know too, that I am the one Seedsman who ALWAYS gives customers in Pre¬ 
mium® Discounts, and Extras, what others pay for extravagant advertising. Why not help each other?
