Vegetable Seeds 
We list 200 of the leading and best varieties of seeds and take greatest care to secure only 
the best strains. Our seeds are grown especially for us by the most reliable growers in various 
parts of the world, so that it may be produced in the section that is best suited for the variety. 
For example, our Lima Beans are grown in California; Beans, in Idaho; Cantaloupe, in Colo¬ 
rado; Corn, in Connecticut; Spinach, in Holland; Onion sets, in Illinois, etc. Contracts with 
growers are placed twelve to eighteen months before the seed is to be delivered or before the 
seed-grower plants the seed stock. This is done to secure only fresh and highest quality seeds 
for our customers. 
Orol Ledden, Sr., who has devoted thirty-three years to the seed business and has been a plant- 
grower all his life, probably is better acquainted with the farming industry and the gardener’s 
problems than any other man in the seed business today. We say this because he was born 
and reared on a large farm in Gloucester County, New Jersey; his father was a farmer and 
grew plants and seeds. He owns and operates two large farms and other farmland totaling 
about 300 acres. He has experimented with all of the varieties of vegetable seeds listed in this 
book and has grown them on a commercial scale. He is therefore well acquainted with their 
individual characteristics. 
We endeavor at all times to secure the highest quality seeds obtainable and to offer these 
high standard seeds at minimum prices. No seed is allowed to be sold that we know is poor 
in germination or in any way inferior. 
Prices quoted on Beans, Corn, Onion Sets, and Peas include postage or express charges 
prepaid on quantities up to 15 pounds. Quarter bushels or more of seeds mentioned are quoted 
f.o.b. Sewell, N. J. On all other seeds, postage, express, or freight charges are prepaid by us
