FORREST'S HONEST SEEDS 
Seeds from “Grower to Sower” 
“As You Sow, So Shall You Reap.” 
Clothes and conditions have changed; 
so has seed growing, and yet a great 
many people as a matter of habit buy 
their seeds of those old houses that 
still wear their old-fashioned clothes 
and pay the same exorbitant prices of 
our ancestors. 
Progressive people, thinking people, 
the wide-awake farmer and gardener, 
have changed their dress and their 
methods. The old Peachblow potato 
was a good one in its day, but its day 
has passed. So is the day passing 
when you will stop sending to the 
large cities, to the man who sits in the 
ninth story of a ten-story building, 
writing up and painting pictures of 
plants and vegetables for their catalog. We do not give you any colored plates — 
they cost too much — but we give you value in seed, good, straight, “honest” seeds, 
at “honest” prices. 
Do you ever think of the enormous expense that the city seedsmen are under? 
Look at the difference in rents, and other enormous expenses they have compared 
with ours. All those give us an advantage of giving you the “best seed that 
grows, for the least money.” 
It will be our highest aim to supply our customers with the best seeds that 
grow, and while our catalog may be very modest by the side of some you may 
have, we have endeavored to give you a true, honest, fair description, avoiding 
the overdrawn pictures and descriptions that only make you disappointed with the 
harvest. 
To those old customers who come to us regularly as the cheerful Spring, we need 
no introduction. Io those who receive our catalog for the first time, we earnestly 
ask them to give us a trial order, and be convinced that we will do as we say. 
Yours truly, 
FORREST SEED COMPANY.
