Only the Best is Good Enough 
B EFORE this business was founded we decided that the House of Hunt was to 
be a House of Quality, and for nearly a quarter of a century we have faithfully 
kept the promise made to ourselves then, “To handle only the best,” so that 
today Hunt’s Seeds, Plants, Bulbs, and Supplies are the very best obtainable, un¬ 
surpassed for reliability. 
There are two things essential for a good garden: Well-prepared soil and clean, sound 
seed, bulbs, and plants. One is useless without the other. It does not pay to plant fine 
materials in poorly prepared ground, nor does it pay to use cheap materials in the best 
of ground. 
Have your ground put in proper condition—use Hunt’s quality materials, and we 
know vou will be successful.

Mail orders, telephone or telegraph instructions will be given prompt and careful 
attention.
