For the benefit of all who may not be 
fully posted in regard to what has been 
done, is being done, and soon to be done in

poorest kind of imported seeds sent to us, 
whichjgreatly dissatisfied our customers and 
caused us much annoyance and expense in 
settling damages for failure of crops. So 
we resolved in order to know what we were 
selling, to grow our own seeds, and incident¬

the world to do this was on the tide lands 
of Washington Territory, where the soil 
and climate are perfectly adapted to the 
complete development of both cabbage 
heads and cabbage seeds, we selected the 
very best seed stock that we were able to 
procure, and in the year 1872 began opera-

For about ten years, these seeds and plants
