VICK’S GARDEN AND FLORAL GUIDE 
Premiums and Discounts 
Our crop of fresh seeds, that contain the germ of life, are all in stock, and we are in shape to fill orders in February 
quite as well as in March or April, therefore do not delay sending order; better send it early when we have more time 
to answer questions. 
Should your order be delayed till the last of April or first of May, do not accept seeds of doubtful quality. It is better 
to delay another day or two and have seeds that will give satisfaction. 
Persons sending $ 1.00 may select seeds amounting to $ 1.25 Persons sending $ 4.00 may select seeds amounting to $ 5.40

It must be understood that these premiums and discounts are allowed only on Flower and Vegetable Seeds by the 
Packet and Ounce, and not on seeds by the Pound; nor on Bulbs nor Plants; nor on Seeds, Bulbs, or Plants in collec¬ 
tions, for on these we have already made the prices so low that we cannot possibly allow further discount; nor can we 
pay this discount in Bulbs and Plants, or seeds by the pound, for it would bring the price far below the cost. 
When several parties club together the seeds will be put in one package and sent to one address, or in separate 
packages, and mailed to the address of each individual forming the club, as desired. In all cases the postage will be 
prepaid. The same deduction will, of course, be made to any person ordering for himself alone. In addition to these 
premiums and presents, we forward in December, each year, to every customer, Vick’s Garden and Floral Guide, 
containing descriptions of all Flowers and Vegetables worthy of cultivation In sending Clubs, it is therefore necessary 
to give the names of the persons of which they are composed, with Post Offices, so that we may be enabled to forward 
them the Guide. 
In August we publish a catalogue containing a list of Bulbs for autumn planting and for flowering in the house in 
winter; also a list of house plants, which we forward to those of our customers who purchased Bulbs of us the previous 
Fatly and to any others that request it. Send in your name for Bulb Catalogue. 
Special arrangements zvill be made with ca?ivassers who desire to handle our whole line. If you have leisure and 
want work, write for terms.
