ROBSON SEED FARMS * HALL, N. Y. 
OUR POLICIES 
Do you realize that some of you have been buying seed from us for fifteen years? It was in 
1921 that we grew the first Certified seed. A few acres of oats, barley, and corn. That fall we 
made our first cabbage seed selections. 
Fifteen years, most of them have been hard years for farmers and yet, each year our sales 
have increased. Each year the business has shown a healthy growth. 
Just as an individual must have ideals, so a business must have ideals or policies. Our 
policies were made fifteen years ago and we still believe in them for they have proven to be sound. 
They are: 
1. To sell only seed of the highest quality at reasonable prices. Quality will be re¬ 
membered long after price is forgotten. 
2 . To sell only a limited number of varieties all of which have been thoroughly tested 
and proven to have commercial worth. We will not exchange a quick profit at 
planting time for loss of confidence at harvest. 
3 . To sell for cash. The carrying of credit accounts costs money. Someone must 
pay these costs. 
4 . To give honest descriptions in our catalogue; pointing out not only the merits but 
the faults and limitations of varieties, giving all possible information as to sources 
of stocks, germination, and quality. 
5 . To advise our customers honestly regarding suitability of a variety to their con¬ 
ditions even though it means the loss of a sale. 
6. To grow as much as possible of the seed we offer on our own farms or neighboring 
farms where we can give it our personal supervision. 
7 . To conduct trial grounds where new varieties may be compared with the old. 
8. To follow out a carefully planned breeding program for the improvement of strains 
and varieties. 
9. To give each lot of seed a stock number and place this number on the tag or on the 
back of each package. If a certain stock pleases you, mention the number when 
reordering. 
10 . To treat seed when practical for disease as recommended by the State Experiment 
Stations and Agricultural Colleges.
