Every Facility to Gare for Your Needs 
If seed were manufactured, our busi¬ 
ness would be simplified, 
as there is a vast differ¬ 
ence between seed produc¬ 
tion and a manufactured 
product. 
Seed production is an art; the beauty 
of a flower or the quality of a vegetable 
is not an accident, yet seed production 
is only half of the game. It requires a 
lifetime of study in order to know just 
where to secure this seed or that seed as 
our stocks are gathered 
from the four corners of 
the earth. 
Picture in your mind 
large shipments of seeds arriving at our 
plant from England, Holland, France, 
Italy, Manchuria, Japan, Australia and 
other countries, as well as the major por¬ 
tion of our seed from the good old U. S. A. 
Every such shipment upon arrival is 
sampled through our own laboratory, and 
tested for purity and 
germination. All bags are 
carefully inspected, as the 
seed must meet our high 
standard of quality before being shipped 
to our customers. 
A seed planter does himself an injus¬ 
tice when he purchases his planting seeds 
on the same basis as he would farm im¬ 
plements.
