T the dawn of the New Year we seud to our customers our Garden Calendar, trusting that the incessant care bestowed on our stocks and the reputation of the house for straight and honest dealing will induce you to place with us your orders for seeds, plants and the necessary appliances for garden and farm operations. Our quarters at 714 Chestnut street having become too small for our rapidly increasing trade, we have leased for storage purposes the warehouse No. 11 North Water St. The past summer we in- creased our glass surface at Riverton by the addition of three houses, each 125 by 21 feet, built in the most approved and substantial manner.

It is our desire to make our Catalogue ser- viceable as a book of reference, and as clear as possible, so that it will not be simply looked at and then thrown aside. Our policy has been and still is to send out but few " novelties," believing it to be better to send out the best grades of the old and tried sorts rather than a multitude of " new things," which are new only in
