Our Seeds are TESTED. They will GROW. 
After seeds are harvested and properly cured we TEST them to see if 
the vitality is good, discarding any which do not show high germination. This 
must be done in the fall, Oct., Nov. and Dec. (1937). We commence putting 
them in packets in Jan. On each packet we mark the approximate 
germination and the year the seed was grown and tested. This Germination 
Test is usually marked a very little lower than it was so as to allow a little 
for possible deterioration before planting time. 
You can always depend on getting the Best Seed that Will Grow when 
you buy of us. 
In over 60 years experience of growing and selling seeds we find that the 
majority of the “Wonderful New Vegetables” introduced have been discarded 
as worthless. We are slow about offering things if their only claim is that 
they are “New.” You will find in our list the things which have been proven 
to have real value.

proper care. On our Vegetable seed 
packets you will find the Germina¬

take somewhere.

safely. 
We guarantee them to be as Good

We Do Not guarantee you will
