It takes almost as much time, detail, etc., to fill an order for 20 or 25 cents, as it does one amounting to 81.00, consequently with an idea of increasing the size of our packet orders, and to offer my customers an inducement to have their neighbors send in their orders with them, I allow the following discount on seeds in packets : Any one of mj- customers has the privilege of selecting seeds, In packets only, to the amount of 81.30 and sending me $1.00 for same; or, I will send seeds, in packets only, to the value of $'£.75 for 93.00 ; or, pnrchasers remitting 93.00 can select seeds In packets to the value of 9-1-25. Purchasers remitting 84 00 can select seeds In packets to the value of 8.5.70 Purchasers remitting 95-00 can select seeds In pack- ets to the value of 87.35. PURCHASERS REMIT- TING 910.00 CAN SELECT SEEDS IN PACKETS ONLY, TO THE VALUE OP 915.00. When it is considered that I offer these discounts in addition to the liberal cash prizes given on pages 3 and 69, I trust it will be appreciated by all of my customers. It must be borne In mind, however, that this discount applies to seeds in packets only, and is not allowed on seeds by the ounce, pint, quarter pound, pound, etc. ^BTl^HfM'CF ^ JERUSALEM.—Over one thousand'bushels have been produced on an acre.
