Contain seeds of only true and tried varieties, most care¬ 
fully selected to give a continuous supply of vegetables, of 
exclusively high quality, throughout the season. The quan¬ 
tities are proportioned to meet the requirements of such 
gardens as are indicated by the titles of the collections, and 
will be found convenient for patrons who do not care to wade 
through long lists, or who prefer our judgment as to kinds 
and quantities; it may be that there are one or more items 
in these collections that some customers will not care for, 
but even if such are not needed, the great saving in price 
will more than compensate. We, however, cannot allow 
any alterations, because these collections are put up in 
quantities all ready to ship, before the commencement of our 
busy season, thus enabling us to sell them at very much less 
than the articles would cost separately. 
“Your collections of Vegetable Seeds gave ns every satisfaction. I find 
these collections very handy , for you do certainly know what to select better 
than a -person who knows but little of gardening .” 
LOUIS C. BENNETT, Hensonville, N. Y. 
“ Your collections of Vegetable Seeds are not only economical in the saving 
of money but *multum in parvo’ for the gardener also , saving much time in 
trying to make proper selections from your large catalogue.”
