WHAT KIND OF A GARDEN 
DO YOU WANT? 
When you purchase seed you are really buying a garden. You are 
preparing to embark upon a voyage that may take the better part of 
the year to complete. “What the harvest will be” depends not only 
upon your own careful planning, diligence and skill but also upon the 
seedsman who passes on to you the fruits of his efforts. 
A Seedsman's Duty You are probably familiar with Edgar A. 
Guest’s poem entitled “A Package of Seeds.” 
It begins: “I paid a dime for a package of 
seeds and the clerk tossed them out with a flip,” and concludes: “In 
this bright little package, now isn’t it odd? You’ve a dime’s worth of 
something known only to God.” How true this is, because in most 
cases there is no way you can tell the variety, trueness to type, pro¬ 
ductiveness or hardiness by examining the seed. You may readily pass 
on the sample, and germination tests can easily be made for viability, 
but you must depend upon the seedsman for all of the other important 
considerations. When you buy your garden, look farther than just the 
cost of the seed. 
Seed Is More Than 
Merchandise 
It is true, seed is merchandise; but it is more 
than that and a good merchant is not neces¬ 
sarily a good seedsman. A real seedsman 
must have an ardent affection for his work, 
and it is really more than a life’s work. Most successful seed busi¬ 
nesses are handed down from one generation to the next and with them 
the ideals of quality and extreme care so necessary to this service.
