Jas. F. Hay, Harlem, Mo.—The beans I raised 
from your King of the Garden were the finest 
sold on the Kansas City market. They were 
admired by all bean growers. 
W.E. Vail, Yorktown Heights, N. Y.—Your 
Profusion Wax Bean did splendidly for me 
last year, and LI predict it will hold its own as 
one of the very best varieties. Your Magnifi- 
cent Tomato is fine shaped and handsome, and 
one of the very best tomatoes in existence. 
Prizetaker Onion is the best on the market, and 
is certainly a wonderful introduction.
