TRIVETT’S TESTED AND GUARANTEED 
VEGETABLE SEEDS 
UP-TO-DATE, PEDIGREE VEGETABLES ARE HIGHEST IN FOOD VALUE 
IMPROVED VARIETIES 
The importance of selecting improved and 
better varieties of vegetables cannot be 
over-emphasized. It is well-known that 
older sorts “run out,” lose much of their 
merit, become more susceptible to diseases 
and insect attacks than up-to-date, im¬ 
proved varieties. 
It pays to select new and improved strains. 
TESTED AND GUARANTEED 
Our seeds are tested for purity and ger¬ 
minating power and are guaranteed (See 
page 1 ). Our varieties are tested for 
vigorous growth, superior table quality, 
cropping ability and suitability for satis¬ 
factory culture in this country. Truly 
“Best by Test” standard. 
It pays to secure tested and guaranteed seeds 
COST OF SEED 
The difference in cost of tested and guaran¬ 
teed seed grown by specialists and the 
ordinary stock is merely nominal. The 
outlay for seed is the smallest part of 
gardening operations; selection, the most 
important. It costs iust as much to grow 
ordinary stocks as it does for improved and 
selected strains. 
It pays to pay for the best
