Stokes Seeds Have a Good Name 



Stokes Seeds are not sold under the usual non-warranty clause and have not been for a great many years. We have found that our customers 

 play fair with us if we play fair with them. We are entering our forty-ninth year of business and exfjerience has taught us that it invariably pays 

 to do the fair thing and the right thing under all circumstances. We supp<jse that no organization is totalK- proof against human error. It is 

 evident, however, that our greatly simplified variety list has reduced the pc)ssibility of error. We can assure all customers of complete satisfaction 

 in all transactions so far as it is possible to have it so. Our continued success is dependent on our ability to please tho.se who place their confidence 

 in us. 



Percent of Germination on Every Package 



Each of our branch stores maintains a seed testing laborator\- which is continually 

 making germination tests of our seed stocks. The results, together with the date 

 of the test, are placed on the seal of ever>- package. We have been giving information 

 on germination of our seed for a number of years past. It is our feeling that our trade 

 is entitled to all available data regarding their purchases. In the event that you 

 receive a package of seed with the seal broken, you always have the liberty of returning 

 this at our expense for in such cases there is a possibility that the package has been 

 tampered with. 



We Maintain Four Separate Proving Grounds 



In order that we may have complete knowledge of the stcxrks we offer for sale, we 

 maintain a Proving (iround at each of our branches. The fact that such trial grounds 

 are located in both Florida and Texas gives us double protection from the viewpoint 

 of maintaining mid-winter trials. This additional protection has already reacted 

 favorably thruout our entire organization. Customers are cordially invited to inspect 

 our Proving (irounds. We want you to know the kind of goods you are buying. In 

 almost all instances, it is jwssible to show you by actual performance just what stocks 

 we are offering.
