LANDRETHS’ REWARD 
FOR CAREFUL 
PLANT-SELECTION 
In 1936, the Pennsylvania Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture approved our 
work by issuing to us the first cer¬ 
tification certificates ever issued in 
the United States for pepper seeds. 
In,J^1937 our plant selection was 
again rewarded by Pennsylvania cer¬ 
tification of a greatly increased acreage 
of pepper. 
Picking the Crop 
Hundreds of bushels of red- 
ripe fruit per acre are picked 
for certified seed. 
Sorting and Taking Notes

used for this particular job.

Landreths’ Plant Breeder ex¬ 
amines all fruits saved for 
stock seed. 
Saving the Seed

each plant selected is kept s('pai‘ate.
