Seeds 
• This important department has our careful attention, knowing the necessity of cure 
good, and true seed. Instead of giving showy and highly colored packets, we will endeavor 
to put all that unnecessary expense into the seed, the article that the customer wishes to 
procure. It should never be the question with the buyer, “How cheap can 1 buy my 'eeds r ' 
but, “Where can 1 procure the very best of seeds?” A penny saved in the first instance may 
bring not only failure and disappointment, but labor wasted and a whole season lost.
