all the standard sorts and oan fill any order Intrusted to us. The 
quality of our Seeds is STRICTLY RELIABLE, PURE, FRESH AND TRUE TO

ing GERMAIN'S TESTED SEEDS is our immensely increasing trade; not 
only locally but from all over the United States.Mexico.South America, 
Europe,Asia.Africa.Australia.Hawaii and the Phillipines we receive 
orders for our seeds,, evidence of the fact that CALIFORNIA'S SEEDS
