From Clarendon, Texas—After having sold your quality seed for the past two 
years we are thoroughly convinced that they are the highest quality to be 
obtained.

From Garden City, Kans.—Have used your seed for the past 20 years and 
have been well pleased with seed and fair dealing.

From Texas—We have a truck growers association here, 42 members; and 
4 miles from here, 60 members. They aim to plant about 70 acres in canta- 
loupes. I have used your garden seed—all kinds—for 29 years and find 
they are the best I can get. Also your cantaloupe seed, the Hale’s Improved 
36, beats anything that is grown here. I am trying to get the growers here 
to order Hale’s Best No. 36.

_ From Portales, N. M.— Would like to say that I have grown your Low lone 
_ California Wonder Pepper for two years and so far am well pleased ee 
it. In fact, I now have peppers from four companies and yours have i 
_ best uniform and heaviest of all. I do not find any off brand stalks sr 
he tered around as I do in the other pepper. I have already gathered one to 

7 _ off one-half acre of the earliest patch. I weighed five peppers yesterday ap0 . 
they weighed 2 lbs. and 12 ozs.
