NEW CUSTOMERS, MARKET GARDENERS, ETC. As our Catalogue will reach many who have never tried our Seeds; we would urge such to send us a trial order, no matter how small. Even though you are satisfied with seeds bought elsewhere, we believe our Special Strains of many varieties will attract your special attention and effort, and be found as profitable to you as they have been to thousands of others who are now regular customers. Seeds of higher quality can not be obtained for less money.
