Stokes Proving-Grounds at Moorestown Are Open 



to the Public 



Our outdoor research laboratory at 

 Moorestown, N. J., is conducted exclu- 

 sively for the benefit of our customers, 

 and as such you are cordially invited to 

 visit us any day throughout the season, 

 except Sunday. It is a matter of genuine 

 satisfaction that so many of our friends 

 and customers have come to inspect our 

 work there. Your visits have been a 

 definite inspiration to us. They are 

 always looked on by our staff as being 

 helpful. Who is not prodded to better 

 things by friendly criticism and advice? 

 For ourselves, we will always endeavor to 

 make such visits fully worth your time. 



Such success as our Company is now 

 enjoying can very largely be attributed 

 to the various type-improvement pro- 

 grams that are in progress at Moorestown. 

 Nto one can doubt the great personal 

 satisfaction to our staff at noting the 

 year-by-year advance that is evident in 

 the experimental plots. Naturally, this 

 is an inspiration to our organization, for 

 it places our Company in a position to 

 make our offerings with the authority of 

 one who knows at least something of what 

 he is about. 



For two years now we have held a midsummer field meeting at Moorestown. In each case these meet- 

 ings were attended by several hundred people. If conditions are such that it seems best to continue this 

 policy, we will undoubtedly repeat this gesture of hospitality in August, 1934. Whether or not this is 

 accomplished, we want again to emphasize the cordiality of our welcome to all of our friends any time 

 during the growing season. 



Germination Test and Date of Test Printed on Every Package 



We have a feeling that this service is appreciated by the planter, and for this reason our laboratory 

 tests will again be made public, beginning with the season 1934. This not only saves unnecessary wastage 

 of seed, but also the time and labor of thinning. The information is made more specific by the inclusion of 

 the date of the test. Obviously, no one is interested in a figure of that kind which may be ancien. history.

You May Like This 



We know of no way to express our appreciation for your sending us your seed orders than to make 

 delivery of these orders the same day they are received. We believe our customers will be pleasantly sur- 

 prised at the service we are prepared to render from any of our Company establishments. 



With quality and price jointly considered, we are modest enough to believe that our 1934 listings represent 

 many of the best values available anywhere this year. In many instances it is not so much what a thing is 

 worth as what people can afford to pay for it. The prices in this Catalog are largely based on that premise.
