Ask the man who has planted them 



"I bought from you last year, and had excel- 

 lent luck with all my vegetables. In fact, much 

 better than any other year." — Mr. Adam Bubb, 

 New York— 2-20-28. 



"Your Viking cabbage lived up to your repu- 

 tation. Penn State Earliana made us some real 

 money." — Mr. Harry Boyden, Illinois — 1-17-28. 



"Last season the Super-Standard Bonny Best 

 seed produced beautiful tomatoes." — ^Mr. W. V. 

 Covey, Washington — 1-13-28. 



"I am glad to say your strains of seeds have 

 proven the finest we have ever grown." — ^Mr. J. 

 Irvin Lehman, Pennsylvania — 2-6-28. 



"We are pleased to say that we buy nearly 



all our vegetable seeds from you and follow each 



catalog with much interest." — Mr. W. D. J. 

 Murray, Ontario — 1-3-27. 



"I have known of you but a few years, and 

 I am greatly pleased w-ith the small experience I've 

 had with your seeds." — Mr. Paul Babelay, Ten- 

 nessee — 2-1-28. 



"Last year your Windermoor Wonder cucum- 

 ber gave us the best crop of cucumbers we have 

 ever had from our greenhouses." — Traynor Broth- 

 ers Company, Mass. — 1-20-28. 



"I have bought this seed of you for the last 

 4 years and tested it along with other stocks of 

 Bonny Best and found yours decidedly superior 

 to any."— W. W. Tracy, Jr., Colorado — 2-15-28. 



"I am addressing you today concerning the 

 cauliflower seed I got from you this spring. The 

 Snowfall variety produced excellent heads. Some 

 of them weighed 5'/; pounds and were the best 

 on the San Antonio market." — ^Mr. William M. 

 Garrett, Texas— 12-14-27. 



"Your Marglobe is the best early tomato on 

 the market." — Mr. G. C. McDermid, S. Caro- 

 lina— 12-7-27. 



"We had a wonderful crop of Viking Copen- 

 hagen cabbage last season. Beckers of Ft. Doge 

 saw it just before it had been cut and were 

 much taken with the variety. They are planting 

 it this year. The size is just right, regular Copen- 

 hagen is too large for our trade." — Blackman 

 Brothers, Iowa — 2-20-28. 



"We have been buying Bonny Best tomato seed 

 from you for twenty years with good results." 

 — Gray Floral Company, Oklahoma — 1-23-28. 



"Results from your seeds have been uniformly 

 good, under rather poor conditions, and your 

 system of cataloging is a great help in buying 

 and planning." — H. McFarland ii Son, Illinois — 

 1-23-28. 



"I don't know how we could garden without 

 Stokes seed. Your treated seed gives us a perfect 

 stand where seed from other sources had to be 

 planted over. We surely appreciate the service 

 you render in furnishing quality seed. — Mr. Albert 

 C. Joy, Oregon. 



"Your Penn State Earliana did remarkably well 

 with us last year." — Mr. Wm. Hobart Clark, 

 Massachusetts — 2-9-28. 



"I hope the day will come when more of the 

 seedsmen will be as conscientious as you are about 

 what stocks of seed they deliver to the growers." 

 —Mr. C. L. E. Keller, Colorado — 1-23-28.
