“7 have used your seeds for about 5 years and 
have always been satisfied with them. I like partic¬ 
ularly your Minhybrid Sivect Corn, and the Fire¬ 
cracker Radish simply cannot be beat. I am positive 
of that as I do soyne market gardening and have tried

sureyiess, quality or selling appeal. Believe me, it’s 
tops.
