I Isual i^Not True 
This Firm has been informed that some of its competitors are very constant in stating 
to country merchants that I,andreth & Sons do not grow many Seeds, but are, to a large 
extent, buyers from other Seedsmen — notably from themselves. 
The M^ay to refute this, is to state broadly and positively that David lyandreth & Sons 
are the only Seed Merchants in the United States who publish practical illustrations of their 
Farms and Seed Houses, and at the same time freely invite the public to visit and confirm the 
truth of the pictures and statements. 
The Landreths court investigation— they have nothing to hide. They emphatically 
declare that no Seed Merchants in America cultivate upon their own lands, quarter as many 
acres annually as they do, in Cabbage, Turnip, Summer Radish, Winter Radish, Beets, Egg 
Plants, Kale, Parsnip, Pepper, Spinach, Tomato, Onion Sets, and Seeds of many other families 
of Vegetables. 
The I,andreth Seed Farms owned in fee simple by the Firm are : 
Bloomsdale, 500 acres. Reedland, 
31onaskon, acres. Granville, 
And rented from the estate of David I,andreth :
