Follow the Bull’s Eye 
We have used this mark O for years to guide 
the gardener in the selection of varieties 
which we believe will give the best results 
under varied conditions of soil and climate. 
This mark O, usually called a bull’s eye, was 
used by the ancient alchemists to represent gold. It therefore 
is most appropriate for indicating the varieties which we con¬ 
sider the best of their class. If you are not thoroughly posted 
which varieties to choose as the most suitable for your particular 
section, we recommend that you make your selection primarily 
from those marked with the bull's eye.

cate, distinctive flavor make them a favorite in market
