A Few Words IFrom Mr. Park. 
TO MY FRIENDS.—Although I am not in any way connected with the LaPark Seed and Plant Company, 
I wish to say that to help the new firm to get promptly started 1 have prepared for them all of the pages of this 
Guide that are devoted to flowers, writing out original descriptions and hints, as you will observe. I will also 
say that all of the flower seeds offered were tested under my supervision during the past autumn, and nothing 
is offered of which there is not a reasonable stock on hand, and nothing offered that did not test, the test of 
nearly all the varieties ranging from 50 to 100 per cent, mostly about 75 per cent. A few, however, that are ex¬ 
pensive and that cannot now be procured for “love nor money” run as low as 20 percent, but of these larger 
packets of seed will be given. All the seeds will produce flowers of the finest quality. Many seeds that are 
worthless will be sold this year by unscrupulous dealers, and I am pleased to refer to the flower seeds here 
offered, as I feel confident they will please, in quality and vitality, those who buy and plant them.
