Theo. C. Brown. 774 Ashland Ave., St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 3. 1908. writes: 
"You mav be interested to know the results I have obtained this season 
with your seeds. FIRST PRIZE in the "Dispatch" Garden Competition, 
held recently, and which you know was open ^o^jll the city. At the 
Minnesota State Fair, now being held, we have secured THREE FIRST 
Premiums, for Pansies, Carrots and Parsley and the only reason we did 
not Ret more was because the real beauty of our Flowers was attained 
about two weeks previous to the State Fair. This demonstrates that 
your seeds are undoubtedly the finest obtainable, and you can put mo 
on record as stating that they are the finest I ever used.
