PERFECTION BRAND SEEDS—Smcf 1906 
1 
For the 54th Consecutive Year—Greetings 
There is an old saying, trite but true, that “nothing suc¬ 
ceeds like success” and it was never more applicable than 
to our business. True enough, we are not the largest Seed 
House in the country and we wish to assure you that we 
have no desire to become the largest, but we can say safely 
and without fear of successful contradiction that regardless 
of size, you cannot buy better seeds than Perfection Brand. 
We have been successful because we have never lost 
sight of the small buyer. Regardless of the size of your 
purchase, your order is always welcome and will receive 
the same courteous attention as if it were a carload lot. 
For the 34th consecutive year, or since 1906, we invite 
your business and urge the larger growers to send their 
lists for quantity prices. 
Suggestions for Ordering

to us:

otherwise stated). “By freight or express” means that 
transportation charges are paid by the customer.

of March and April. Orders sent at once secure prompt 
shipment from our full stock. 
HOW TO ORDER—Write your name, postoffice. State,

freight directions. Where none are given, we route at buy¬ 
er’s risk.

USE ORDER SHEETS—The use of order sheets enclosea 
in this catalog is a great help to us in facilitating filling 
and shipment of orders. More will be sent on receipt ol 
postal asking for same. 
ABOUT WARRANTING SEEDS—It is impractical U 
guarantee seeds, as the best seeds will fail under impropei 
treatment. Some may be sown in too dry ground or too 
wet, too deep, or too shallow. Some hardy seeds will stand 
cold weather and will grow where the soil is too cold for 
others and would cause them to decay. Insects may attack 
and destroy them. For these reasons we do not give war¬ 
ranty in any respect, and will not be responsible for the 
crop.
