SEEDS IN ONE POUND SEALED CLOTH BAGS 
Nearly all articles one purchases nowadays carry 
the manufacturer’s name, or are put up in packages 
by the manufacturer or producer. This has resulted 
in a great benefit to the consumer because the maker 
is proud of his name and reputation, and gives 
greater care in production and distribution. 
You no longer purchase crackers in bulk from the 
barrel. Why not purchase seed in the original pack- 
age sealed by the grower. 
A good many years ago we began looking about 
for an ideal package in which to put 
up seeds and properly identify them 
with our name so that the planter pur- 
chasing direct from us or through a 
dealer could be more certain as to the 
identity of the seed. Cotton bags were 
decided upon for this purpose because 
they were substantial and convenient 
in the one pound size. These bags are 
marked with the variety and lot num- 
ber. It is possible for the more par- 
ticular planter to then refer to the lot 
number in later orders and make cer- 
tain that he is receiving the same 
strain of the variety formerly used. 
The bags carry’a patented seal which, 
when intact, insures the planter that he 
is getting seed we packaged; eliminat- 
ing possibility of mixture that might 
result from several handlings and re- 
labeling of the seed in its course 
through the ordinary channels of trade. 
Local seed dealers like this style 
package because of its attractive dis- 
play possibilities and because they can 
recommend the seed to their customers 
with reasonable confidence in the 
proper performance of the seed. Lot 
fe? Numbers appearing on each bag help in 
i complying with the new Federal Seed 
Law. The only seeds packed in the 
1 1b. sealed bags for. distribution 
through dealers are varieties that are 
specialties with us. 
As far as shippers and associations 
are concerned, the one pound sealed 
cloth bag is an ideal package for dis- 
tribution to their farmer growers. 
Planters find them desirable because 
of the ease in checking the amount of 
seed being planted per acre, as well as 
the confidence enjoyed by knowing 
that the seed has been handled in bulk 
the fewest possible number of times.

DAYS TO MATURITY 
The number of days required by any 
particular variety to produce garden 
stuff ready for table use varies from 
year to year and depends upon .growing 
and seasonal conditions. In our: descrip- 
tion of most varieties we are giving the 
average number of days from seed to 
edible stage. Time given for broccoli, 
cabbage, cauliflower, pepper and tomato 
is days from setting plants to marketing 
fruits. Figures are based on growing 
conditions here and are meant only for 
_ convenience in comparing earliness of 
~Narieties. Less time to maturity maybe |. 
required in the South and for late 
planted crops.
