TESTIMONIALS 
“Your Golden Cross Bantam Corn turned out fine for me last 
year. It is all you claim for it, and I tliink it the best yellow Corn 
offered to date.’’ 
W. L. Bainbridge, New York 
“I planted a small acreage of your Rutgers Tomato last fall and 
they did so well for me that I am going to double my acreage next 
spring. They are a wonderful cropper; large, smooth, and hold up 
in size better than other varieties that I have been growing, and 
they ship well.” 
James Owens, Texas j 
“I tried a small sample of your Grothens Red Globe Tomato 
last spring and it certainly proved to be the best early Tomato 
that I have erer grown. They are not only early, but have size, 
color, crop heavy, and are very smooth. It is just as early, but 
far superior to Break O’Day.”
