URING the last forty-eight years, Dibble’s 
Farm Seeds have established a record for 
themselves on thousands of American farms 
that is not excelled by those obtainable from any 
other American firm. 
In 1891, forty-eight years ago, Edward F. Dibble, 
a young farmer of the Genesee Valley country of 
western New York, established this business. Our 
motto has always been “Farm seeds and farm 
seeds only; one grade and that the best obtainable at 
the lowest prices consistent with the highest possible 
quality.” As a result, in forty-eight years, our busi¬ 
ness had developed into the largest strictly mail¬ 
order farm-seed business on the American continent, 
and Dibble’s farm seeds have established a reputa¬ 
tion for themselves on thousands of American farms 
that is not excelled by the seeds of any other Ameri¬ 
can firm. 
Farm seeds of the highest quality are essential to 
successful farming. We furnish this quality only, 
and at a price which is frequently lower than inferior 
seeds of unknown origin would cost you. 
We know farm seeds. A lifetime has been devoted 
to the farm-seed business. The Dibble and Martin 
farms of over one thousand acres are located at 
Floneoye Falls. We are seed-growers and actually 
produce on our own farms a large part of the seeds 
we sell. We try out new or so-called new varieties on 
our own farms, and when we recommend something 
we know it is good. The members of our corporation 
know the practical side of farming as well as the 
scientific. 
Those seeds which we cannot produce on our own 
farms we have grown in other localities better suited 
for their development. We travel thousands of miles 
inspecting seeds each year, and our inspection is 
intelligent and thorough. 
In order that we may be sure of the quality of our 
seeds we operate a seed-testing laboratory where we 
test our farm seeds for purity, germination, etc., 
and every bag has a tag attached showing the results 
of these tests. We do not have to take someone’s 
“say so” as to quality— we do our own testing and 
we know.
