The great Panama- 
Pacific International 
Exposition awarded 
C. C. Morse & Co. 
for their seeds and 
vegetables: 
9 Grand Prizes 
7 Medals of Honor 
14 Gold Medals 
3 Silver Medals 
The above is a record never before attained by any Seedsman or seed grower at a single Exposition. It is perhaps 
the greatest number of Awards given any single business at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. 
THE AWARDS WERE ALL MADE ON THE ACTUAL PRODUCT OF MORSE'S SEEDS 
GROWN ON OUR OWN FARMS AND TRIAL GROUNDS. We did not hunt for the best 
specimens from all over America for our Exhibits, but depended on the quality of the product of our 
seeds naturally grown on our own farms and from the seed we sell. This point was appreciated by 
the Juries and they have commended and stamped their approval indelibly of the splendid quality of 
Morse's Seeds. 
WHAT DO THESE AWARDS MEAN TO OUR FRIENDS AND TO US? 
TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND TO THE BUYING PUBLIC they arc a guarantee of the highest possible quality 
in Seeds. 
TO US they are a great reward for the work we put on our strains on the farms and for the care we exercise to 
produce and sell the best seeds. 
We are proud of our record. Others appreciate our Seeds. Do not you? 
C. C. Morse & Co.'s Trial Grounds 
At Harder Station, near Hayward, on the Niles Branch of the S. P. R. R. 
A sample of every lot of seed is grown at C. C. Morse & Co.'s Trial Grounds to see 
whether it conforms to their high standard for productiveness and quality. This is 
one reason why Morse's Seeds are the best, because only those which show well under 
field conditions are retained and sold by us. Our extensive work here is of direct benefit 
to you, which you can get with Morse's Seeds only. 
The Tomato Trials 
Each tomato row represents from 50 to 100 
plants. When ripe the fruit is picked once a week 
and spread on the ground, right side up. The size, 
weight and general appearance of the fruit, as well 
as the vine, are noted, and earliness or lateness, 
vigor of plant and every interesting detail is re- 
corded. 
The Cucumber Trials 
About 25 hills of vines of each variety are tested, 
and the fruits are allowed to remain until dead ripe. 
Then, in the case of cucumbers, the fruits are picked 
and spread out along the row as indicated. In the 
picture will be seen the watermelon and muskmelon 
trials at the rear of the cucumbers and tomatoes.
