Cucumber Seed 
An unusual condition exists this year regarding cucumber seed. There have been 
short crops of this seed throughout the nation, and the supply of good seed is every¬ 
where very limited. As a result the price of this seed has shown a marked increase. 
This may result, in some instances, in the offering of seed of poor quality. But we 
assure you that our seed will be of the same high quality as always. To get the quality 
we wish, we grow and harvest on our own farms all the seed we offer. Our seed is as 
good as careful workmanship can make it.
