Soda Springs, Idaho, March 24, 1934 
Last year I wrote you a letter, telling you of the exceptional results I had obtained from 
your lettuce seed. In your courteous reply, you asked if you might use part of that letter 
as a recommendation. Since that time, 1 have always intended to write, and give you 
permission; but, as 1 am almost a year late in getting around to it, I hereby make another 
report of the high merit of your seed, and grant you the right to use it as you see fit. 
To partially substantiate my story. I am inclosing a rather poor picture of a couple of 
native head hunters with a few samples of their victims, which were grown from your lettuce 
seed. The heads in tins picture were as hard as cabbages, and weighed, when trimmed, 
from 2 V 2 to 4 pounds each. Of course, if I could have found some smaller heads in the 
patch, I would have put some of them in the picture, just for contrast. 
For several years, 1 hate been experimenting with iicad lettuce in this locality, which has 
an altitude of about 5700 feet. I have tried many varieties of lettuce, and have obtained 
seed from at least a dozen of the leading seed companies of the country. Each year J have 
conducted my tests in a way to give all samples an eatlal chance to show their merits. 
During the past three summers, l have tried your seed, along with that of other companies, 
and I am pleased to report that the best lettuce I have ever raised has been grown from 
your seed. It has produced larger, more uniform, and better shaped heads; with a larger 
per cent of the crop marketable. 
I have built, up quite a reputation, locally, for my fine lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, and 
sweet corn; and because of the fine quality, I always get a premium above the market price. 
Last summer, I planted a quarter of an acre to head lettuce, from which the sales 
amounted to $350. I had too much for the local market, and so sent several loads to Poca¬ 
tello and other cities. The lettuce sold itself because of its size and superior quality. I vis¬ 
ited the markets of Ogden and Salt Lake, but failed to find tiny lettuce that even approached 
what I raised from your seed, right here in Soda Springs. I sold my whole crop above the 
market price. 
Your Mile High Wonder produced the best heads, but your special strain New York was a 
close second in quality, anti it gave a better per cent of marketable heads than the Wonder. 
Mountain Iceberg was good, but lagged behind the other two. 
To conclude this boastful report, may I ask a couple of questions? I want to know It you 
consider New York No. 12. and 5034 New York good strains for high altitude. 
You will find a small order and check inclosed. If I can make satisfactory arrangements 
for suitable land, 1 will send a bigger order for lettuce seed later. 
Respectfully yours. 
Signed; A. IRA COX.
