Martin’s Tested Seeds Insure Good Stands 
To insure our customers good results from sowing Martin’s seeds we are constantly taking- 
samples to our greenhouses for germination check. These tests are made under ordinary 
conditions which give us absolutely reliable information as to how these seeds will behave in 
your greenhouse. During the spring in summer our testing operations are transferred to 
frames and seed beds outdoors. This checking continues every month of the year. It is 
one big reason that we speak of Quality in Martin’s Seeds.
