Peconic, N. Y., Dec. 7, 1939—I used your Blue Ribbon sprout seed this year 
and it did very well for me. I ship my sprouts instead of taking them to the 
block and find I get a better price for them as there is certainly a good demand 
for Blue Ribbon sprouts.

Cutchogue, N. Y., 1939—The Scottish Chief Seed Oats purchased from you 
in the Spring, outyielded another kind that I sowed 2 to 1. 
From one acre of Scottish Chief I harvested 32 bushel of nice oats. Pretty 
good for such a dry season.
