You Have Built Our Reputation 
Many of you have planted Robson Seeds each spring for years. You have told your neigh¬ 
bors of your experiences with our seeds and shown them your gardens. It is you who have built 
our reputation for good seeds. We feel it is up to us to maintain this reputation by; 
I Growing on our own farms all the seed crops that are suited to our climate. In this way 
we live with the crops throughout the growing season and know the parentage and quality of the 
seed just as the livestock breeder knows each individual animal in his herd. 
2. Carrying on a careful breeding program to improve existing varieties and to create better 
ones. Hand in hand with this, we maintain extensive trial grounds where all of our seed is field 
tested with varieties and strains produced by other seedsmen. 
3. Giving honest descriptions in our seed catalogue so it is more than a price list to you. We 
feel you should know not only the advantages of a variety but also its faults and limitations.

“I bought seed from you in 1935 and have been buying each year since. Golden Cross is not only the best I ever ate. but its strong 
growth and even appearance in the garden attracts attention. 
On your recommendation I bought a packet of Scotia beans and that, too, has become a habit. The Table Queen Squash I raised last 
summer from your seed were of unusually fine flavor and your beet seed germinated better than most on the market. I also planted 
cucumber and tomato seed from your house with satisfactory results.”
