superior to all other brands. I am enclosing you a family group and photo of Slate’s

“I am sending you an order today for 
more seed. I have been using your seed 
for fifteen years and I cannot find any 
better. I have tried many kinds of to¬ 
bacco and find that your Root Rot Resis¬ 
tant Burley No. 5 is the best that I ever 
saw. My tobacco was the best on the 
Warehouse floor this season and brought 
the top price. I am sending you a photo 
of my tobacco field with my wife in it. 
This was made just 73 days after setting 
the plants. I can truly say to all if you 
want real good tobacco, try Slate’s Grad¬ 
ed Seed.”

ordreed from you when I could buy else¬ 
where so much cheaper. I said when I

“We got one ounce of tobacco seed 
from you this year and sowed them by 
themselves, and the same day we sowed 
two other beds. The seed bought from 
you produced much the finest plants, so 
I am sure they are worth the price you
