Seed "IS" Quality 
It is apparent why Mr. Finkler 
is so happy. He prefers Robson 
Short Stem Danish for his stor¬ 
age houses at Apulia Station, 
New York. “Norm.” says “Rob¬ 
son seed grows fine uniform 
heads. We want more of it in 
this community next year.”

Dear Sirs: 
“I am boosting your cabbage seed again, as I have had your seed 
for a long time and I think there is none better. I had a pound of 
seed this year and I think that, without stretching it, I had fifty 
thousand plants from that pound. I didn’t see turnips or anything 
except good cabbage plants in the bed. At the present time I have 
a field of cabbage that you ought to have a picture of; I set them 32 
inches from row to row and they cover the ground the 26th of July. 
It is a perfect stand and lots have told me the best field of cabbage 
in the county. I have plants as big as a washtub which I think is 
great for this time of year and if you possibly can I wish you could 
take a picture of this great piece of cabbage grown from Robson 
Seed.”
