TO BE SATISFIED ORDER FROM LANDRETH 



Partial View of Bloomsdale Trial Ground, 1919. 



Seed Testing for Vitality and Purity 



Come see how it is done by Landreth after 

 an experience in Trial Grounds of 136 years 



It will be observed that in the testing of Garden Seeds there are two standards 

 aimed at, sprouting power and quality of crop, and it may be remarked that each are 

 equally important. 



A want of Vitality or Sprouting power in the first place defeats the object of the 

 gardener as without Vitality he does not have a crop, while on the second hand by a want of 

 quality his efforts are also defeated if the character of the crop raised after his months of 

 labor and patience prove to be MIXED or BAD. Really he had better plant unvital 

 Seeds in the first instance and save his labor, expenses, disappointments and avoid the 

 ridicule of the neighbors. 



Landreth's Seeds are tested both ways, for Vitality and Quality — for Vitality 

 principally under glass, but largely too in the open garden to find out how many Seeds 

 in one hundred germinate — in a few cases up to 100, on an average say 90, while 80 may 

 be considered good.
