INTEGRITY OF SEEDSMEN 
Perhaps no other business is built and maintained on character and confidence 
to the extent that the seed business is. In no other business, probably, is the 
purchaser so dependent on the knowledge and integrity of the seller. It is impos¬ 
sible for anyone to tell by looking at seed, whether or not it will grow or if it 
does grow, whether it will produce the kind of crop desired. 
Buying seed, then, is largely a matter of confidence. We are much gratified 
by the knowledge that our customers have realized this and have for fifty years 
depended upon us. AS A RESULT OF THIS CONFIDENCE, MANY NEW 
FRIENDS ARE ADDED TO OUR LIST EACH SEASON AND THEIR ORDEPvS 
SENT US SOLELY BECAUSE SOME FRIEND HAS RECOMMENDED US TO 
THEM. WE APPRECIATE THIS AND THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE. Our 
Golden Fiftieth Anniversary has been made possible by our host of satisfied cus¬ 
tomers.
