/for dealers only:/ 
We present to dealers our Whoi.ksaj.k Prick List for 1884. 1'he seeds quoted are to be 
relied on as fresh and strictly pure, and of the finest quality, largely grown on our own seed 
farms, or under our own inspection. It has been our aim to supply the public with seeds of a 
superior strain, such as will produce the finest vegetables and most perfect flowers. Our im¬ 
mense retail trade, and the rapidly increasing demand by merchants for Vick’s seeds, leads us to 
believe that our efforts are appreciated. Considerable variation in prices will again be noticed 
this year, crops which require a long season to mature and ripen their seed being to a great 
extent cut ofl by the severe early frosts; particularly aiming these are varieties of Beans, 
Cucumbers, late sorts of Sweet Coni, and Squash. On the other hand, Cabbage, Onions, peas, 
and Turnips, ripening their seeds early, produced abundant crops, and we are able to offer 
at lower rates. 
We send out no seeds on commission. Fresh and pure seeds cannot be supplied at a profit 
by any house on that plan. Merchants who thoughtfully consider the best interests of their 
customers, and who desire to build up a good seed trade, will not keep commission seeds for sale. 
Shipping .—Purchasers will please send explicit shipping instruction* with each order: 
where no such instructions are given, we shall exercise our best judgment in the matter. We 
deliver all goods free on board cars, or to Express company, making no charge for cases or
