How**** 
our Seed 
is Grown. 
S INCE 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 1200 acres, 
right here at Rochester, which supplies the bulk of our seed, we cannot 
grow some varieties of seed in this climate. Most of our varieties of Dent 
Corn we grow in one of the most fertile counties in the State of Ohio. 
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 in growing season.

We also give letters from customers and salesmen taken at random from localities where our seeds have 
used, in many cases for the past ten years. These letters are published giving addresses by county for obvious 
reasons — we do not furnish addresses for the benefit of our competitors. 
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. direct from our warehouse doors. This is of special benefit to custo- 
mers in having their orders filled with dispatch at shipping time. 
FOR CLEANING 
OUfi SEED 
We have the most expensive and the most 
perfect cleaning machine that 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 
delivered in five different grades. All the 
light and imperfect grains are taken, weighed 
in the air and carried away by suction. To 
accomplish this there are two large fans which 
revolve at the rate of 600 times per minute.
