PROFUSION ROSE COLLECTION

SEE ILLUSTRATION IN COLORS ON COVER OF THIS CATALOGUE. The first place in our catalogue this year we are devoting to this unequaled collection of the most satisfactory of all flowers. For many years we have made roses a great specialty at the greenhouses and on our floral grounds and we grow immense numbers of them. Today, September 12, as we are writing this, our fields of rose are a mass of bloom and visitors go into ecstasies over them. Many greenhouses and outdoor frames are filled with small but vigorous growing plants prepared for the spring demand, as we like to send our customers strong well grown plants instead of the little spring rooted cuttings so often furnished by other growers. We specially recommend the following varieties, and have grown an immense number so as to offer this assortment at a very low price.

BABY RAMBLER ROSE.--Decidedly the best rose novelty of the season and the very best red bedding rose in existence. It originated in Orleans, France from a cross of the Crimson Rambler and a Polyanthus variety. It may be called a perpetual blooming dwarf Crimson Rambler. The bush is vigorous, absolutely hardy, about 27 inches in height and the introducers guarantee it to be In Bloom Every Day of the Summer and Fall until severe frosts when grown out of doors. Sometimes as high as 120 flowers have been counted on a single panicle. Color bright glowing scarlet. Has won first class prizes at many of the French and English flower shows. It was never offered in America until last spring and plants went like wild fire. Every flower lover just must have it. Nice well grown plants each 25c. Per doz. $2.25. Large two year old plants each. 75c.

CHATENAY.--One of the most wonderfully beautiful roses ever sent out. Flowers are of elegant shape with slightly recurved petals. Buds are large perfectly formed and just right for buttonhole or corsage. Color beautiful creamy rose shaded with rosy carmine and tinged with salmon at base of petals. A grand perpetual blooming Hybrid Tea, of strong healthy growth and hardy in most places with slight protection. An extra choice free blooming garden variety, blooming almost continuously. Each 20c. Strong two years old plants each 35c.

GOLDEN BEDDER.--This is beyond question the most magnificent golden yellow Tea Rose. The plant is a strong healthy vigorous grower and a profuse loomer being fairly loaded with flowers and buds the entire season. By some it is called the Star of Lyons and it is a star of the first magnitude, the best bedding variety that we know of and unsurpassed for general planting. Remarkably hardy both as to heat and cold frequently standing the winters uninjured in the open ground without protection. The flowers are very deep, rich and full, of excellent substance and of delicious fragrance; color ? rich, deep golden yellow. Each 20c. Large 2 year old plants.

WHITE AMERICAN BEAUTY.--For many years the Red American Beauty has been the acknowledged queen of all roses, not only in America but throughout the civilized world. Now we have its mate in a pure ivory white rose of the same form and fully equal in size, beauty and fragrance but easier grown and a much better bloomer. In Germany where it originated it is called Kaiserin Augusta VIctoria and it is truly a royal variety. It has no rival as a white bedding rose for it grows vigorously, producing a constant succession of crops of flowers. It is a hardy Hybrid Tea variety like the American Beauty and throws up many blooming stems and all of them are surmounted by lovely flowers. The buds are of elegant shape and slowly develop into full open, very double flowers with wide petals of best substance. It is a faultless variety of exquisite fragrance. Each 20c. Large two year old plants 35c each.

MAMAN COCHET.--The best pink garden rose in the world. In the open ground it quickly makes a strong bush, producing on long, stiffstems, in wonderful profusion, flowers that are so perfect as to defy accurate description. The buds are beautiful, large, full and firm, elegantly pointed, while the open flowers are extra large, perfectly double and of splendid substance. The COLOR IS CLEAR, RICH PINK CHANGING TO SILVERY ROSE. Blooms all the time. Each 15c, 2-year-old plants, Each 30c.

LIBERTY.--One of the most sensational varieties ever introduced, its color being indescribable rich glowing, dark crimson scarlet far surpassing anything which our artists could depict, and it must be seen to be appreciated. It is unequaled in purity and brilliancy. The plant is of strong, erect bush like growth remarkably vigorous and producing an abundance of blooms. The flowers are of immense size, magnificently full, deep, fragrant and very double. The original plants of this rose sold for $7,500.00. Nice plants each 20c. Large two year old plants, each 40c.

ABOUT OURSELVES. The first question which comes to the mind of the prospective buyer about any seed house is "are they reliable?" Almost everyone in Iowa who uses seeds knows the Iowa Seed Company and our Choice Iowa Seeds are sown in every neighborhood in the state, but as this catalogue goes to many in all parts of the world who have not dealt with us, a few words about our business may help us to become better acquainted. This business was established in 1870--thirty-five years ago--and it has grown until now it occupies a very prominent place in the seed trade of the country. The business has been under the same management for many years past, the present manager having been connected with the company for twentyeight years. During all this time we have been constantly in close touch with the farmers and gardeners, and know what will prove the most satisfactory in the various localities. Success in the seed trade depends almost entirely on the confidence of the people, and our customers have learned that they can rely implicitly on us.

OUR ESTABLISHMENTS. This business has now reached such proportions and is so diversified that it is impossible to conduct it all under one roof, and the accompaning illustrations will help you appreciate our efforts in building up one of the most substantial business enterprises in the world today.

THE IOWA SEED STORE is so well known in Des Moines that it would be difficult to find even a child in this city of 80,000 inhabitants who does not know its location. It occupies the large building at 613-615 Locust street within three or four blocks of the postoffice, express offices and principal railroad passenger stations. The large store room is full of interest to everyone who has a farm or garden, or who loves flowers. Here are also located the offices and correspondence department. During our busy season we receive 2,000 to 5,000. letters every day, and it requires seventeen typewriters to answer the correspondence. We are always glad to have our customers call and examine our stock and manner of doing business.

Profusion Collection. One strong plant each of the above six roses for 75c. One large two-year-old plant of each for $1.85. Sent prepaid to any town in the United States or Canada.

24 NEW GREENHOUSES erected during the past three years are de voted exclusively to growing plants for the mail order trade, and they contain a greater variety of plants than any other greenhouse in the west. Hundreds of plant orders are filled daily during the busy season; small plant orders can be mailed direct from the branch postoffice nearby. They are located convenient to the electric car line and fronting on Kingman Boulevard, one of the finest driving streets in the city. Here we devote fully 12 acres to flowers, making the finest display to be found in the west.

THE WAREHOUSE on South Fifth street we have occupied for many years for storage purposes only. Large lots of seeds which come in after harvest, are thoroughly cleaned and then put away in this building and held in readiness for the spring trade.

MAIL ORDER BUILDING.--Our trade has increased so constantly that we purchased the ground at 208210-212 S. Eighth St. about six blocks from the store, and erected thereon a large building specially arranged for our trade. The railway tracks beside the buliding give us unexcelled facilities for handling carload lots, and we are centrally located between the various freight depots, so that small shipments can be made promptly. Our machinery is operated by four electric motors, and we claim that our mills for cleaning seeds cannot be surpassed. We can readily fill 2,000 to 4,000 orders per day in this building, and they are handled in such a careful way that errors seldom occur. Most of our employees have been with us many years and appreciate the importance of each order, no matter whether small or large, and no "green hands" handle seeds in bulk.

SEED FARMS.--It requires the seed crop from about 8,000 acres to supply our trade and the farms are widely isolated so as to avoid any danger of mixtures. Some seeds cannot be grown to advantage here, and we contract with practical seed growers in other states and a few in Europe to grow for us. For instance, we pay our growers in Denmark about three times as much for cauliflower seeds as it would cost to have it grown in this country, but it is much superior.

Des Moines, Iowa, January, 1906.

To Our Friends and Patrons:

WITH HEARTY GREETINGS and well wishes to our many customers in all parts of the country, we send out this our annual messenger. While the past year has had its share of trials and sorrow to individuals, still taken altogether we consider it one of the best and most prosperous that the country has ever seen. On the whole, crops have been good in all parts of the country and prices for same much aove the average and we have every reason to believe that the new year will bring fully its share of blessings. Our seed crops have been quite favorable and aside from a few varieties of onion, beans and peas, the prices of garden seeds average somewhat lower than previous seasons and quality is superior. The crops have been harvested in excellent condition and we are prepared this season to give each customer the best seeds that they have ever had, realizing that in the past the high quality of our CHOICE IOWA SEEDS and our promptness and painstaking care in filling orders have made many friends. It is our highest ambition to merit the title which has so often been applied to us,-- namely: "SEEDSMEN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE."

----------------------------------------------- Read What Prominent Men Say. ----- They are a proof of merit. Such testimonials cannot be bought.

"I have bought seeds of you for several years past and have found them very satisfactory. I have used them on my own farm and also sold them to others and have had no complaints. Have also purchased some from other firms, but could not depent on them as on yours." R. J. Johnson, Humboldt, Iowa, President Iowa State Agricultural Society.

"I am pleased to state that all seeds both garden and field, that I have bought of your firm during the past twelve years have been perfectly satisfactory, and I am always pleased to recomment the Iowa Seed Company to any and all who are in need of anything in their line." M. J. Wragg, Waukee, Iowa, President Iowa State Horticultural Society. -----------------------------------------------

By this we mean not only native born Americans, but all residents of this country.

WE GROW OUR OWN SEEDS either on our own place or have them grown from carefully selected stock seeds, and it requires the entire seed crop from about 8,600 acres to supply our trade. The soil and climate of Iowa are specially adapted to growing and maturing most seed crops, still there are some varieties which will produce better seed in other localities, and we spend a large part of the summer and fall in travelling around among our growers inspecting the growing crop. Again thanking you for past favors, respectfully soliciting a continuance of your patronage, and wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year, we remain, Your friends, IOWA SEED COMPANY. M. KURTZWEIL, President. CHAS. N. PAGE, Treasurer and Manager.

----------------------------------------------- What Des Moines People Say. ------ Voluntary expressions of a few of the leading market gardeners of this city showing how we stand at home.

I have planted your seeds for 25 yrs. and have found them perfect and true to name. I can always depend on you for quality and purity. F. SESTIER.

I have now been purchasing seeds from you for 29 years and have found them true to name and of good quality. I recommend your seeds to all gardeners. HENRY ROLLINSON.

My father and I have been buying garden seeds from your company for thirty years, and all I need to say is that we intend to continue. Results prove their value. W. L. ROTH. -----------------------------------------------

SUGGESTIONS TO CUSTOMERS.

ORDER EARLY.--The best time to order is just as soon as you receive this catalogue, as we can always give your orders more of our personal attention if they come in before the rush of the spring trade. Please use the order sheet as it makes it more convenient for us in filling orders. Terms are invariably cash with order as we keep no book accounts in our mail order department and the expense of sending goods C. O. D. is quite large. Postage stamps received as cash.

SHIPPING.--There are five express companies and fifteen railroad lines at Des Moines, so that quick shipments can be made to any town in the United States. It is well to remember that express charges are usually much higher on heavy goods, and you should order them sent by fast freight.

CHARGES PREPAID.--All Vegetable and Flower Seeds, Bulbs and Plants, except those noted, are sent prepaid by mail or express by the quickest and most direct routes unless ordered otherwise, and we guarantee their safe arrival. Seeds sold by the peck or bushel, field seeds, potatoes, implements and other heavy goods are sent by freight or express. The terms "by express" and "by freight" mean that goods are shipped at purchaser's expense, not prepaid.

OUR PRICES.--Our constant aim is to make the highest quality the first consideration, and next to put our prices as low as good seed can be sold.

DISCOUNTS.--On all orders for seeds in packets the purchaser may select twenty-five cents worth extra for each one dollar sent us. This refers only to seeds in packets, not in bulk. This discount does not apply to Collections of any kind nor other special offers. Each year we put up thousands of packets of seeds for free distribution among our customers, by adding liberally of them to orders. We will allow you a discount of ten cents per pound on vegetable seeds, such as are listed as prepaid, if you are willing to have them sent by express or freight at your expense.

SMALL ORDERS.--If you only want a single packet, do not hesitate to send for it. We take as much pains to fill small orders promptly and correctly as we do large ones. Orders for Flower Plants and Nursery Stock, however, must amount to at least twenty-five cents.

PLANT ORDERS.--Orders for plants will be filled as early in spring as we consider it safe to send them. If ordered for immediate shipment in severe weather they will be sent at purchaser's risk.

WHAT WE GUARANTEE.--That all money sent us for seed shall reach us if sent by registered letter, P. O. or express money order, or bank draft, made payable to our order. That your order will be filled promptly and well. That goods ordered will reach you safely. Keep a copy of your order. Sometimes persons think they have ordered articles which they have omitted, and blame us for not sending them.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY.--As this book will probably go into the hands of many who are unacquainted with us, this question will naturally arise, and in answer to same we refer you, by permission, to the Century Savings Bank, of this city, to the postmaster, or to any express company.

ABOUT WARRANTING.--We thoroughly test all our seeds and nothing is sent out which we do not believe to be good in every respect. When it is considered how many are the contingencies on which the success of any crop depends, such as sowing too deep or too shallow, too wet or dry soil, unfavorable weather, insects, etc., our customers will readily see that it would be sheer folly for anyone to warrant them to produce a perfect crop, and we want it plainly understood that while we exercise great care to have all seeds pure and reliable, and also true to name, we do not give any warranty, express or implied. If the purchaser does not accept the seeds on these terms and conditions, they are to be returned at once, and the money that has been paid for same will be refunded. No officer, agent or employee of this company is authorized to make any warranty whatsoever. However, we have so much confidence in our seeds that we hereby agree to refill any retail order for vegetable or flower seeds free of charge should they prove otherwise than as we represent them. We know of no responsible seed firm in the world which guarantees seeds any further than this. Compare with other seed catalogues and you will find that we are right.

MARKET GARDENERS and others who buy vegetable seeds in bulk to the amount of $5.00 or more, are requested to send for our Market Gardener's Price List. This list for market gardeners is intended only for large buyers, and is exclusively for those who order vegetable seeds alone by weight or measure amounting to $5.00 or over. Club orders which call for this amount of bulk seeds altogether are entitled to these prices.

PREPAID RAILROAD STATIONS.--Many of our farmer customers live at Prepaid Railroad Stations where there are no agents. In such cases we must request them to send sufficient money to prepay freight charges on heavy shipments, also in cases where perishable or other goods are ordered to be sent by freight or express to such great distances that cost of transportation will nearly or quite equal the value of goods. OUR GERMAN FRIENDS will be pleased to notice that we also issue a catalogue in the German language, and we will take pleasure in sending a copy free on request. Tell your German neighbors about it.

[German notice]

FOREIGN ORDERS.--Our trade with European countries, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the West Indies and other foreign countries, is increasing constantly, and while it is still somewhat expensive and slow to send large shipments by freight, small lots can be sent by mail quite easily. We are willing to prepay the postage on all vegetable and flower seeds offered by the packet or ounce, at the prices named in this catalogue, to Canada, Mexico, all parts of Europe, and all countries of the Postal Union. Not more than 12 ounces can be sent in each package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WE ARE PLEASED TO RECEIVE SAMPLES OF NEW, RARE OR SUPERIOR SEEDS YOU MAY SEND US FOR TRIAL

from the grower, or as soon as they are brought in from our seed farms. We also carry on extensive trials on our grounds by which we are enabled to offer only those strains of seeds which come up to the standard of purity and excellence, and are of the highest vitality, and the result is that we very rarely have complaints as our Choice Iowa Seeds are sure to please.

SEED TESTING AND TRIALS

A CHOICE LIST OF THE BEST NOVELTIES ARE DESCRIBED ON THE COLORED PAGES IN THE CENTER OF THIS BOOK.

ASPARAGUS. One ounce will sow forty feet of drill. Asparagus is so easily grown and such a large quantity is produced on a small amount of ground that every garden should contain a bed. A bed teen feet square, requiring 50 plants, will give an abundant supply for any ordinary family. Soak the seed 24 hours in tepid water; sow early in spring, in rows a foot apart; keep clean by frequent weeding and hoeing. Ask for circular giving instructions for making an asparagus bed. COLUMBIAN MAMMOTH WHITE.--A new and entirely distinct variety, that produces shoots which are white and stay white as long as fit for use. It is more robust and vigorous in habit and throws up larger shoots and fully as many of them as Conover's Colossal, and requires no earthing up in order to furnish the white shoots so much sought after. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 75c. PALMETTO.--Stalks frequently measure two inches in diameter, and, even when twelve inches long, are perfectly tender when cooked.

ARTICHOKE. This vegetable is a great delicacy, highly valued in all parts of Europe, and also one of the most prominent table vegetables in California and other parts of this country. It is a perennial producing the large flower heads, which are the part eaten, the second season and every year thereafter. Sow seed early in hotbeds or boxes in the house, and when weather becomes settled transplant in rows four feet apart and two feet apart in the rows. When started early it sometimes blooms the first year. LARGE GREEN GLOBE--The best variety for general use; buds large; scales green, very thick and fleshy. Pkt. 10c, oz. 35c, 1/4 lb. $1.00. AR

IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX. In spite of all the new sorts of beans being introduced every year, our trade calls for more Golden Wax than any other variety. This great popularity Is due largely to the fact that the variety we have is a great improvement on the old Golden Wax, having larger pods and being more prolific. This improved stock is one of the handsomest beans we have ever seen, the pods being of dark, rich golden yellow color and of perfect shape. For family or market you make no mistake in planting them.
