Since 1882 
W HEN T. Lee Adams opened his 
seed store in 1882, he estab¬ 
lished a reputation for fair 
dealing. Under the guidance of Mr. 
Adams’ sound principles, his original 
seed store has grown to be the largest 
and most dependable source of seed 
supply in Missouri. Along with the 
dependability and reliability of the 
seeds we sell, service and conven¬ 
ience is always a large consideration. 
TESTED SEED 
We conduct our own modern seed 
laboratory and trial grounds. Our 
seeds are just as represented. If they 
prove otherwise, we will refill the 
orders free of charge or refund the 
money you paid us for same. If you 
do not find the article or variety you 
want, put it on the order anyway, as 
we carry in stock many items that 
we do not have room to list in this 
catalog. 
ADVISORY SERVICE 
We are glad to answer letters in 
detail regarding your garden and 
farm problems, but all requests for 
information should be written on a 
separate sheet of paper, and not on 
orders. It is always a pleasure to 
help you make your garden a success, 
and we take pains to answer in¬ 
quiries promptly and fully.
