From Good Seed Only Can Good Vegetables Be Grown.

"All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled."-SOLOMON.

Our list of Vegetable Seeds will be found to contain all the leading and most popular varieties in cultivation, including all novelties which have proven of merit in this section of the country. We are each year testing a large number of the novelties which are offered, many of which, while they may be of value in the latitude where they originated, are not at all desirable in this section of the country, and we therefore do not offer them.

As much as practicable we have put the varieties in rotation, in the order of their earliness, and those varieties in capitals are such as we can specially recommend for general use. Those of our customers who are not acquainted with the varieties cannot go far wrong in selecting these.

The testimonials which we are constantly receiving from the largest and most critical Market Gardeners in this and other States are the best evidence that our Garden Seeds are unsurpassed in quality, and our trade-mark "Only one Quality, the Best," is well taken.

Seeds by Mail Postpaid. In comparing our catalogue with others, please remember that our prices include the prepayment of postage or express charges, on all seeds by the packet, ounce, quarter pound, pound and quart, and thus you have them delivered to your door at prices named in the Catalogue. This includes postage on Beans, Peas and Corn by the quart.

PREMIUMS. ON ALL ORDERS FOR SEEDS IN PACKETS the purchaser may select Thirty-five cents worth extra for each one dollar sent us. This premium applies only to seeds in packets at list prices, and cannot be allowed on special collections or on orders for bulk seeds. Persons ordering Vegetable Seeds in bulk amounting to $5.00 or more, may select seeds to the amount of ten per cent of order extra. All who are willing to have their vegetable seeds sent by express or freight at their expense, may deduct ten cents for each pound of seeds which they order.

Please see our special list of novelties in the supplement to this Catalogue.

Anyone desiring to purchase a large bill of seeds will do well to write us sending a list of their requirements and we will make special prices whenever possible. Prices named in this list are very low, quality considered, and therefore we shall issue no separate list for Market Gardeners this year.

Hints to Gardeners. - In all garden work, it is very desirable to do everything on time. To the vigilant and industrious belong the prize. In the spring of the year weeds grow with astonishing rapidity, and a day's time lost at this season equals much more than at any other. It [If] you want to have a good garden, which you can enjoy and take pride in, commence early, fertilize and work the soil thoroughly, keep free from weeds, and give all crops the best of care. Don't try to cultivate too much ground, but plan your garden so as to have a rotation of crops, and you can often utilize the ground so as to obtain two or three crops each season.
