Cutchogue, Jan. 8th, 1935. 
Bought 4000 Brussels Sprout plants of you last summer. I lost quite a few 
plants but from what was left I shipped over 100 32-quart crates. They cleared 
me home about $360.00, as they sold at top prices. 
Sincerely, 
IGNATZ SMITH.

Mr. Ralph W. Sterling: 
I purchased 2 oz. of Blue Ribbon Sprout Seed last spring and they turned 
out very good. I had the beet crop of anyone in thie section. 
Very truly yours, 
HOWARD J. FAIRBAIRN.
