JOSEPH HARRIS, MORETON FARM, ROCHESTER, X. Y. 
A CHANCE FOR THE BOYS. 
PURE BRED ESSES PIGS, 
SENT TO BOYS UNDER FIFTEEN YEARS OF AGE, AT TWENTY PER 
CENT. LESS THAN REGULAR RATES. 
Three years ago, after I had written my Seed Catalogue and fixed prices, it occured 
to me that it would be a very desirable thing to get the boys and girls to take an inter¬ 
est in the garden. And with this object in view, I offered to let any boy or girl have seeds 
at twenty-five per cent, less than regular rates. 
Some people laughed at me. Many said I should get none but children for my cus¬ 
tomers. I am willing to let them laugh. I do get a great many orders from the boys and 
girls. But I believe every one of them are genuine. 
And mark you, we keep a list of our customers and file away all their letters, and we 
shall soon learn whether the plan is a good one or not. A boy very soon becomes a man, 
and then he will have to pay regular rates. If I furnish him good seeds as cheap as he 
can get them elsewhere, I shall hope and expect to make a life long customer of him. 
And so with the Essex Pigs. I want to get a few good boys in different parts of the 
country to raise pure bred Essex Pigs. I have faith in the breed and faith in the boys. And 
to come right to the point, I have concluded to let the bo} r s have my pigs at twenty per 
cent, less than regular rates. In other words, I will let them have good, pure blood Essex 
pigs, two months old, at the following rates:
