VEGETABLE SEED, tested for Purity and Growth 
Our seed is all contracted for each preceding year from growers all over the country. We buy peas in one locality, 
beans in another, etc., not because of cheap prices, but because through experience we know that certain localities in the 
country grow a better tomato, bean, etc., than others. We thoroughly test every variety each year before offering it 
to our customers. We know it is true to name and will grow. 
All seed in packages under our name in convenient sizes. Insist on Banning’s Quality Seed.
