l)lants on Bloomsdale Farm. We therefore offer, for the first time, the only Certified Pepper 
Seed ever produced. 
Tin's Pepper Seed will be dyed green for identification and sold in ^ and 1 lb. lithographed 
cai'dboard j^ackages, wrapped in moistureproof cellophane, and sealed with a yellow certificate 
from The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, located at Harrisburg, Pa.
