With 1939 my 
27th year of 
actual work be¬ 
gins, under the 
trade-mark of the 
House of Sonder- 
egger. For the 
greater part of 
that period 1 
have been the 
manager of our 
seed department. 
To build up our 
name for good 
seeds I have al- 
w a y s concen¬ 
trated my efforts 
on the selection 
of better varie¬ 
ties, putting 
them to my own 
tests before rec¬ 
ommending them 
—testing every 
grain of seed be¬ 
fore it is packed, 
and paying 
prompt and care¬ 
ful attention to 
any requests 
from my customers. Just 27 years of 
serving you—and it has been a pleasure: 
now that I am beginning my second 
“Quarter Century” in the business house 
that my father built, I have but one 
wish, and am glad to make it known 
here: To have the opportunity of re¬ 
maining in contact with you, helping you 
in any of your garden problems, and fur¬ 
nishing you whatever you may like to 
sow. Good, fresh seeds, true to name 
and prompt service on your orders.

in purity and germination in order to make a perfect stand on the 
space you have, and must be absolutely true to name, to produce for 
you what you have selected in varieties from your own experience 
or from a reliable seedbook— 
SONDEREGGER SEEDS ARE THE ANSWER. 
—And if you are one of those alert people who are fascinated by 
Mother Nature's way of producing crops from soil and seeds— 
—And if you like to get of the old favorites those that are still worth 
planting, of the new creations the most significant— 
—Then you will like this book, because 
it tells you facts established by ac¬ 
tual tests, so you can select intel¬ 
ligently— 
—Then you will like Sonde- 
regger Seeds that are in¬ 
spected most rigidly as to 
their germination, purity, 
and are always packed 
and shipped with utmost 
care, to be true to 
name, and to reach 
you in good condition.
