sold by any seedsman in America, because we buy them very largely in 
separate named varieties and mix them ourselves. The same applies to 
Asters of which we sold a quarter million packets last season, and to 
China Pinks, Poppies, and other popular varieties. Our California 
Poppies this season will contain a large proportion of Carmina King, 
Burbanks New Crimson, Rose Cardinal, Golden West, etc. 
We exercise the same care in selecting our vegetable seeds. Our 
thirty-eight years of practical experience in testing and selling seeds has 
revealed to us where the best seeds are produced. 
Four Brown Bag-Filling Machines. Daily Capacity, 120,000 Packets. 
Our Facilities 
For ten years we have been supplying seeds for children’s gardens, 
each year resulting in a substantially increased demand over the previous 
season. I often think of an order I received the second year, from the 
schools in a small city in Northern Michigan, amounting to some $75.00, 
that taxed our facilities to the utmost to fill, as our seeds were then all 
packeted by hand. It is gratifying to note in this connection that we 
are still supplying these schools, never having missed a season. 
During the last three seasons the demand has grown with leaps and 
bounds, so that each year we were obliged to increase our facilities in 
order to take care of all orders promptly. At this writing we are re¬ 
arranging our entire plant, increasing our floor space to three times its 
former size. We have just unloaded a car of almost six million seed 
bags, and now have installed four Brown Bag-Filling machines with a 
combined daily capacity of 120,000 packets. In other words, we are in 
position to take prompt care of twice as many orders as we received last 
season. Whether your order amounts to fifty cents or five hundred 
dollars, it will receive the same prompt and careful attention that has 
resulted in the unprecedented popularity of our seeds.
