In the picturesque valley of Pennypack Creek, in the heart of the most fertile farming region of Pennsylvania, 
we have established our seed-testing and trial-grounds 
T hree hundred years ago the Pennypack Indians cultivated this beautiful 
valley. Time has not altered its beauty or impaired the famed fertility of 
its soil. Here we carefully test and improve our seed-stocks in order that we 
may offer selected strains adapted to the localities we serve. The list of varieties 
thus offered is shorter than some, but its very brevity is proof of the concentrated 
effort we have exerted to maintain and improve the quality of every item in it. 
Even during these difficult times, we do not spare any labor or expense on our 
stock seed and insist on keeping our types, listed herein, at a high standard of 
excellence. 
Do not be deceived into the belief that good seed can be obtained by casual 
methods, or that one or two crops grown from inferior seed do not matter. No 
market gardener who values his reputation can afford to lower standards these 
days. There are too many good growers ready to take advantage of his slightest slip. 
That is why Abbott & Cobb’s seeds are better today than ever before. There 
has been no relaxing of vigilance here. Every effort is put forth and no expense is 
spared to make our stocks the best seeds obtainable for the districts we serve.
