TESTIMONIALS 
We could print hundreds more if we had the space. 
“The quality of Simon’s seeds always remains the same, as we 
used them last season, and were more than satisfied. Every seed 
is true to name and there is a quality to them, that always makes 
’em grow. We are Simon boosters now and all the time.” 
(Signed) The Mulig Berry Farm, Nebraska. 
“I have been planting your Extra Early Mascot Tomato since 
you introduced them. They have always given excellent results, 
being very early and productive. Last year I planted a quantity of 
your Black Beauty Egg Plant. They yielded a heavy crop of 
fine fruit. Am including pepper in my order this year. Hope you 
can supply me with same quality seeds as in the past. 
You may use this as a testimonial if you wish.” 
(Signed) W. G. Niven, Virginia. 
“I guess you wonder why I didn’t get any seeds from you this 
year, but I did not do any trucking. I am going at it strong next 
year, so be sure and send me a catalogue as I cannot get along 
without your seeds, as they have never failed me yet and are 
always true to name.” (Signed) M. A. H. Van Horn, New Jersey. 
“I used your Special Stock of World-beater pepper this past 
spring, and have never planted peppers before to equal these. 
They were very prolific, and also very large and meaty. You 
may expect an order for 10 pounds for next season.” 
(Signed) S. C. Dickerson, Florida. 
“Please send me at once 20 pounds of your No. 1 stock of 
Bright Red Forcing Globe radish. We have just finished market¬ 
ing the best crop of radish that has ever come from our green¬ 
house. They were your Bright Red Forcing Globe.” 
(Signed) Traynor Bros., Massachusetts.
