VEGETABLE SEEDS 
No variety of seeds or plants will grow the same under different 
climatic and soil conditions. The list we offer is not large but for twenty- 
five years we have been trying out different varieties, eliminating those not 
satisfactory and listing only those which seemed best adapted to the 
conditions in Central New York. Our aim is to furnish seed that will give 
you results and give us repeat orders.
