A Typical Mountain Valley in Colorado 
BETTER SEEDS-READ WHY 
In 1787 nineteen people were on the farms to one in the city. 
These nineteen fed themselves and one more. Today nineteen people 
on the farms are producing food and clothing for fifty-six in the city 
and ten abroad. Improved farming methods and machinery have in 
no small way helped to make this possible. Vastly improved trans¬ 
portation facilities and, in the case of perishables, canning and re¬ 
frigeration have made their big contribution toward feeding the 
multitudes. Varieties of vegetables better suited to shipping and 
canning have been developed. 
The grower must furnish produce that pleases the customer, 
whether a canner, a motorist stopping at his roadside market or the 
housewife in a distant city. The successful grower knows that it is 
the first class uniform produce that brings top market prices and is 
more easily sold. He also knows that it is not necessarily the big 
tonnage grown that makes money. It is the fruits that can be mar¬ 
keted which count, not those left in the field. 
Seed is important because this determines to a large extent both 
the quality and the yield, and no amount of effort on the part of the 
grower will overcome the handicap of poor seed. Our determination 
has long been to grow and furnish our customers with the best in 
seed; seeds of which we can be proud and that will grow crops of which 
the planter will be proud. We are not particularly interested in sell¬ 
ing by price competition. It is our firm belief that seeds should be 
produced as good as possible and then sold at a price that will allow 
a just margin of profit. This does not necessarily mean that our 
prices are higher than those from other sources. A large part of the 
seeds we offer are of our own growing and by selling directly to the 
planter we are often able to supply better quality at no increase in 
price. Our policy has always been to grow the finest seed we know 
how and secure from growers who specialize in their line, items that 
we do not produce ourselves. 
We will be glad to receive your orders and will do our best to 
please you.
