Qjour ^Packets from zJyivett s 
Your packets of seeds from Trivett’s are put 
up by experienced seedsmen, each and every 
packet is handled personally; no filling ma¬ 
chines, etc. are used. 
Hand measured quantities in every packet. 
Generous quantities of fresh, new crop seeds 
are measured into moisture-proof, waxed con¬ 
tainers which are then placed into the named 
outer packets. 
No drying out or damage from moisture. 
All packets are sealed with our trade mark and 
stamped with the date when packeted. They 
are then stored in cool, steel-lined containers. 
No previous years packets are sold. 
Different size packets of the same variety are 
offered in many instances. Generally speaking, 
the 15c. size contains about half the amount of 
the 25c. packet and so on. A sufficient amount 
of seed often means the difference between 
success and failure. 
Our packets contain over-size , generous quantities. 
What Constitutes a Packet of Seeds 
v 
• 
Almost anything from 10 to 1000 seeds or 
more. Dead or alive, of mediocre or high 
quality—the purchasing of a packet of seeds 
is purely a matter of confidence. 
Buy Your Seeds Direct from Seedsmen 
Rare, expensive seeds, first year novelties 
and items which we receive from specialists 
or collectors that are delivered to us already 
measured out in packets are supplied by 
us in the quantities as received. 
Here , we have no control over quantities. 
Certain kinds of seeds should be treated. A 
red seal on any of our packets signifies that 
the seed has been treated by us with a special 
formula of our own as a preventive against 
seed-carried diseases and “damping off.” 
Use treated seeds for vigorous , healthy plants. 
Only the best strains in fresh, new crop 
seeds are put into our packets—the finest 
the world produces. 
For those who demand the best. 
Time, labor, fertilizers, etc. are the heaviest 
expenses of gardening and the cost of the 
seeds the smallest. It costs just as much to 
sow and raise poor seeds or ordinary quality 
as it does for the best. 
It pays to pay for the best.
