Mr. W. N. Craig, gardener for Miss M. S. Ames, North Easton, Mass., January 23rd, 1911, writes:—‘‘Enclosed you will find 
Vegetable Seed order for 1911. I have now used your vegetables almost exclusively for twenty years and the quality has been all that I could 
wish for during that period. A constant supply of high quality vegetables is always possible when seed of the best grade is secured, and the fact 
that I have never had occasion to secure supplies from other sources goes to show that your seeds have been very satisfactory.”
