NOVELTIES IN SEEDS 
Many novelties are being introdueed every year. Not 
all are of high value. Many of these are untried novelties. 
We are listing only such novelties that look very promising 
or that already proved to be of real value. 

ONCE A YEAR 
We issue only one catalog a year. By issuing only 
one catalog we save money and we pass this saving to 
our customers. That helps to explain why in many 
cases our prices seem to be “too low”. We receive many 
letters and in these letters we are informed that the 
writer is afraid to send us an order for seeds on account 
of our low prices. Why? Every why has its because. 
Because our expenses of doing business are less, we 
sell for less.
