These pictures represent operations on Bloomsdale 
Farm, such as have been going on since 1847 and are still 
pursued every Summer. 
This is one of the most complete Trial Grounds in 
America, and is maintained by D. Landreth Seed Company 
at Bristol. Seed from all over the World is tested here 
and virtually every new variety of vegetable, grass or 
flower may be found on the farm soon after development. 
The Public is cordially invited to visit the Landreth 
Trial Grounds at any time. Our own stocks are planted 
in competition with competitors’ and notes are taken 
throughout the growing season at short intervals. This 
Trial Ground, combined with our careful greenhouse 
vitality tests, is one of the most important factors in 
making Landreths’ Seeds the leading American brand. 
All seed supplied our customers has first received a field 
trial and we know it to be correct in every respect. Lan¬ 
dreth in 1784 conducted the first trial grounds in the 
United States. A visit to Bloomsdale will prove most 
interesting to people interested in vegetables, flowers or 
lawn grass.
