FAMOUS ROCK RIVER VALLEY SEED FARMS 3 
Say, ''Mr. 
Farmer,"! want, 
to tell you I'm 
the youngest 
fa rmer and 
gardener in this 
seed firm, but 
my Dad seems 
to think I ought 
to know as 
much about 
everything 
as he does. 
Gee, but 
he's a crank 
about this 
business ; 
everything 
must be just 
so, no guess 
work. Yester- 
("SEND rOB OVB SEEDS AND GROW VEGETABIiES IJKE THESE") day whcH WG 
were saving Melon seed he stood on guard at the seed barrel just like one of those 
Big Generals you see in the newspapers nowadays. I told Ma last night I didn't 
see why Pa was so particular, but she said, "Sonny, Dad wants those seeds he is 
saving for his customers to be the Best The Earth Affords,'" and believe me they are 
all of that — couldn't be better. You ought to come up to our house sometime and 
see how we do it. 
Did you see my cousin's picture with the Asters on inside back cover page?' 
She likes flowers and plants best, but I like the farming and gardening. It's more 
fun to watch the Radishes and Lettuce grow, besides there's more money in them. 
Have you a little boy like me or a big girl like my cousin with the Asters at your 
house? If you have you ought to send for some seeds to my Dad and give them 
a big garden like we have. It's lots of fun. 
If you tell Dad when ordering you intend to let your little boy and girl have 
a garden of their own, I know he'll send them something nice free. Don't forget to 
tell him or Daddy might forget. 
Write or come to see us sometime. 
Yours truly, 
LEONARD W. CONDON, JR.
