The founder of our Firm, James Carter, was, we believe, the first to guarantee the germination 
of his Garden Seeds eighty-two years ago ; the practice as amplified in the following illustrations is 
still conducted annually by our Firm.

Garden Peas placed for testing germination on fibre. 
Peas growing at 
the same time as 
our Customers 
grow them, to full 
maturity, so that 
we may assure 
ourselves of the 
quality and true- 
ness of each 
variety. By ex- 
amining our trials 
from time to time 
we know exactly 
how the produce of 
our Seeds should 
appear in the 
gardens of our 
Customers all over 
the World, making 
allowances for the 
various climates, 
and by the aid of 
our comparative 
tests (we try all 
Seeds of repute) 
we assure our- 
selves that our 
Customers are 
growing “ the 
best and only 
the best ” and 
“ Tested.”
