SEEDS IN ONE POUND SEALED 
CLOTH BAGS 
Nearly all articles one purchases nowa¬ 
days carry the manufacturer’s name, or are 
put up in packages by the manufac;turer or 
producer. This has resulted in a great bene¬ 
fit to the consumer because the maker is 
proud of his name and reputation, and gives 
greater care in production and distribution. 
You no longer purchase crackers in bulk 
from the barrel. Why not purchase seed in 
the original package sealed by 
the grower. 
A good many years ago we 
began looking about for an 
ideal package in which to put 
up seeds and properly identify 
them with our name so that 
the planter purchasing' direct 
from us or through a dealer 
could be more certain as to the 
identity of the seed. Cotton 
bags were decided upon for this 
purpose because they were sub¬ 
stantial and convenient in the 
one pound size. These bags are 
marked with the variety and lot 
number. It is possible for the 
more particular planter to then 
refer to the lot number in later 
orders and make certain that 
he is receiving the same 
strain of the variety formerly 
used. The bags carry a lead 
seal which, when intact, insures 
the planter that he is getting 
seed we packaged: eliminating 
possibility of mixture that

might result from several han¬ 
dlings and relabeling of the 
seed in its course through the 
ordinary channels of trade. 
Local seed dealers like this 
style package because of its 
attractive display possibilities 
and because they can recom¬ 
mend the seed to their custom¬ 
ers with reasonable confidence 
in the proper performance of 
the seed. The only seeds packed 
in the 1 lb. sealed bags for dis¬ 
tribution through dealers are 
varieties that are specialties 
with us. 
As far as shippers and asso¬ 
ciations are concerned, the one 
pound sealed cloth bag is an 
ideal package for distribution 
to their farmer growers. 
Planters find them desirable 
because of the ease in checking 
the amount of seed being 
planted per acre, as well as 
the confidence, enjoyed by know¬ 
ing that the seed has been 
handled in bulk the fewest pos¬ 
sible number of times. 
DAYS TO MATURITY 
The number of days required by any particular variety to produce 
garden stuff ready for table use varies from year to year and depends 
upon growing and seasonal conditions. In our description of most vari¬ 
eties we are giving the average number of days from seed to edible stage. 
Time given for broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, pepper and tomato is days 
from setting plants to marketing fruits. Figures are based on growing 
conditions here and are me.ant only for convenience in comparing earli¬ 
ness of varieties. I.^ss time to maturity may be required in the South 
and for late planted crops.
