Grand Rapids 
We make a specialty of supplying seed to the Market Gardeners and make every effort to handle only the very best 
strains obtainable. We do not claim to compete with houses whose main idea is to sell at a low price regardless of 
quality. In such cases the seed is not cheap but very dear at any price. The first cost of good seed is small com¬ 
pared with the time and labor necessary to raise a crop.
