View of Seed Testing in Our Greenhouses 
OUR SEED DEPARTMENT 
Under this department, we offer on the following pages the varieties of vege¬ 
tables and flower seed that have proven, after careful study of their every quality, 
to be the most suitable in their respective classes. 
As soon as the seed is ready for shipping, whether of our own production or 
received from our contract growers, a sample is immediately taken and soil tests 
made for germination in our own greenhouses under careful supervision. 
It is gratifying to note the continued steady and rapid growth of our Seed 
Business; proving that our customers appreciate the method we employ. “We do 
not compete in low prices. Our aim is Quality.’' 
If you grow for profit, or plant in large quantities, send your printed 
letter-head with your order and your goods will be invoiced at the Market 
Gardeners’ wholesale rate.
