So many wait until time to plant and expect the 
order the next day. This is an impossibility. Please

the United States, too many who, like you, wait too 
long before placing your order. We want to give 
you quick service, this is why we want your order 
early. 
Last summer we visited a ranch of the largest 
grower of garden seeds for the wholesale trade and 
found they had 2500 acres in one ranch, producing 
garden seeds best adapted for their section. 
Here we saw almost 1000 acres of beets, ready to 
thresh, two fields of Dark RED DETROIT of 250 
acres each. 
The land is deep black loam, just about as rich 
land as you ever saw, level valleys, some 100 miles 
long, ten to 25 miles wide, mostly irrigated from 
mountains on either side. 
Our contracts are made for one to two years in 
advance, seed to be shipped to us soon as threshed 
and milled.
