SEEDS 
@ Essential considerations at the beginning in the growing 
of a garden are: land with proper fertility, moisture, favor- 
able climatic conditions and seeds. The character of the seed 
is of vital importance both to the amateur and the commercial 
grower. The grower wishes to be certain that the seed is 
viable, true to variety and unmixed, also that they are re- 
“>-<*¢eeiving an improved up to date variety or strain. These are 
important because seeds determine to a large extent both the 
quality and yield. Our seed crops are grown from select 
stock seeds which represent many years of careful breeding. 
Extreme care is used in all growing operations. Two exper!1- 
enced parties check and double check the putting up of the 
stock seed to be sent to the farms. Proper separations are 
given all of the seed fields so that there will be no cross pol- 
lination. Fields are rogued and any unwanted plants removed. 
The seeds are carefully harvested and properly tagged. Every 
lot is carefully checked by at least two people before milling. 
. Mills, bins and elevators are thoroughly cleaned between 
-yarieties, every precaution possible used to guard against any 
mechanical. mixture. At least two people check all lots of 
seeds before being packaged to see that they are properly 
labeled. We are sincere in our work and believe we are paid 
to be extremely careful. Seeds are tested for germination 
“by one of the leading seed testing laboratories and checked 
for variety in our trial ground. 
One of the leading European seedsmen has to say about 
prices and quality of seeds as follows: “‘No Seedsman can 
afford to go to the expense of producing a superior, highly 
bred strain, and then go out and sell it on the market in a 
price competition with the man who takes little or no pains 
to keep his stocks pure. That road leads to ruin sooner or 
later. If he feels compelled to meet prices with irreputable 
dealers, he should not attempt to waste any time or money 
in breeding up better stocks, and incidentally, he may not 
pepect to secure and hold the better class of market garden 
trade.” 
We invite the planting of these seeds in comparison with 
those obtained from any other source.
