Shavertown, N. Y., Jan. 9, 1940—Dear Sir: I have raised Sprouts for sev¬ 
eral years and have always had your “Blue Ribbon Strain” of seed for my main 
crop, but have always experimented with other kinds. 
By giving them all the same care and treatment I find that the “Blue Rib¬ 
bon” yield the best and are nicer sprouts. 
I always find that the price and demand for “Blue Ribbon Sprouts” is the 
best in the City. Therefore I’m only going to grow “Blue Ribbon” this year.

Bovina Center, N.. Y., Dec. 18, 1939—The Sprout seed which I purchased 
from you were the best quality I ever raised. T. L.
