A FIELD OF BEANS “WES” HART — FARM MANAGER IN A FIELD OF PEAS 
WHERE OUR SEEDS ARE BORN 
We own and operate in Maine three farms with a total acreage of 560 acres and 
in addition contract with farmers to produce some 1700 acres of seed crops for us. 
We grow every item which can be produced successfully in this latitude and which 
we use in sufficient quantities to justify production. The rigorous climate of New 
England and, particularly in Maine, the freedom from insect pests, bacterial wilt and 
fungous diseases insures you hardy, adaptable seeds, healthy and pure and free from 
the taint of disease. 
Our own complete control of our stocks from start to finish is your assurance that 
they will produce what we claim they will. We thoroughly “rogue” our fields, that 
is, remove all off-type plants so that these will not reproduce and spoil the perfect 
uniformity of the product. Modern recleaning machinery including triple-screening 
and separation by specific gravity removes all under-developed seeds and those of 
weak vitality and low germinating power and as a final check-up each lot of seeds 
goes through the personal inspection of hand-picking for the removal of discolored 
and foreign seeds, which the most ingenious machinery will not accomplish. 
It is not possible for you to obtain seeds of purer parentage or of higher 
germinating power.
