VEGETABLE SEEDS 
For twenty three years we have been testing the standard varieties 
as well as many of the newer introductions in Vegetable and Flower 
Seeds, our object being to discover the real merits of the various kinds and 
especially their adaptability to our soil and climate. We have found 
many varieties that in some soils and climate may be excellent but with 
us here are of little value. On the other hand some that are not so highly 
rated are just what we want. The list in our catalogue may not be so large 
as that found in many others but it contains those varieties on which we 
get repeat orders year after year together with those newer varieties 
we have tried out and found promising.
