Realining the importance of better seeds and a long 
felt need by the commercial grower, who must make his liv¬ 
ing from the soil, for dependable seeds, Mr. Paul H. Baer- 
mann on duly 16, 1919 founded the business bearing his 
name t'^day. 
The first principle was contracting with seed growers 
both in this country and abroad v/ho had the highest rep¬ 
utations of growing the best and the best quality only, in 
their special lines. As an added precaution, all seeds on 
arrival were carefully tested for germination, as they are 
to this day. 
Our mott^ ’’TBSTED SEEDS" is no mere boast, f-^r every 
year all seeds we sell are tested for germination and the 
actual grown tests arci the date of the test with the per¬ 
centage of germination are ready for your inspection at 
any time. Not just a figure of the germination to show you.
