Wh0rC Our Seed is Grown Since our trade extends east to the Atlantic, south to' 
: — the Gulf of Mexico, west to the Rocky Mountains and 
north to extremely cold localities, we take every precaution to have seed that will give good results wherever 
we may sell. While we use the crops from over 500 acres right here at Rochester, which supplies the bulk of 
our seed, we cannot grow some varieties of seed in this climate. All of our varieties of Dent Corn we grow in 
one of the best corn belts of Ohio, and our spring wheat for northern trade is all grown in one of the most 
fertile counties in the State of Iowa. Every precaution is taken with all crops to keep each variety separate and 
free from any admixture. 
.^^^STANDING INVITATION-^^-. 
To all customers or salesmen visiting Rochester at any time we extend a hearty invitation to call on us and 
look over our warehouses and cellars or the crops when growing in their season.

We also give letters from customers and salesmen taken at random from localities where our seeds have been 
used for the past ten years in many cases. These letters are published giving addresses by county for obvious 
reasons. If we were to give post office, people could write to our customers and buy seed from them, such 
customers could well afford to sell for less than we where they pay nothing for advertising 
Facilities for Shipping. 
We believe our facilities are superior to those of any other firm in the seed trade. We can load cars on 
the tracks of the N. Y. C and H. R. R. R. direct from our warehouse doors. This is of special benefit to custo- 
mers in having their orders filled with despatch at shipping time. 
For Cleaning Our Seed. 
We have the most expensive and the 
most perfect cleaning machine which money ! 
can buy represented in the above cut. The ■ 
grain, when received at our warehouse, passes 
into a hopper beneath the ground floor; is 
there taken by a grain elevator consisting of 
an endless chain of cups to the top of the ware- 
house at an even flow and deposited in the 
cleaning machine. This machine makes five 
separations, that is, all grain which enters it is I 
delivered in five different grades. All the I 
light and imperfect grains are taken, weighed I 
in the air and carried away by suction. To I 
accomplish this there are two large fans which j 
revolve at the rate of 600 times per minute.
