‘o—-_- To Our Friends, Greeting.

i ; —— As we hand you our TWENTIETH ANNUAL SEED BOOK, it is like shaking hands with old
friends, for many of you have been with us from the beginning. We heartily thank you one
and all for your liberal patronage in the past and ask for your continuance so long as we
give you the BEST SEEDS at the right prices. ALNEER’S SEEDS are always the RELIABLE
and MONEY MAKING SEEDS.

Some seed crops this year are very short, particularly Cucumbers, Muskmelons, Watermel-
ons, Peas, Beans, Squashes, Pumpkins, Tomatoes and Sweet Corn. The cucumber crop is the
worst in thirty years. Prices this year on nearly all these will be a little higher but we haye
made them as low as we possibly could. Our advice is, order early, as some of these will be so
short, that late in the season we may not be able to furnish them.

We want your trade and it will be to your advantage to buy from us, for we can SAVE YOU
MONEY. Sendin your orders as early as possible.

Thanking our friends and patrons for their kindness and liberal orders in the past, and so-
liciting a continuance of the same, Send in your orders as early as possible, and induce all your
neighbors and friends to join their orders with yours, and all send for ALNEER’S RELIABLE
HIGH GRADE TESTED SEEDS. Yours Very Truly,
