We Know Our Seeds Grow. 
The photograph above shows a germinator tray 
with sprouting seeds. This is one of the ways we 
test seeds for germination. In our well-equipped 
laboratory a full-time analyst is employed who is 
continually checking all lots of seed for purity and 
germination. Every package of seed is stamped 
with a code letter and number and we can give 
you our laboratory test on any lot of seed if you 
wil give us this number. All field seeds are 
shipped with a tag bearing our laboratory test both 
for purity and germination.

Stock Carrots 
Carrots make excellent feed for livestock. 
They may be substituted for grain or other con- 
centrates to-the extent of replacing one-half of 
the dry matter. When thus used 8 to 10 pounds 
of roots will replace 1 pound of concentrates. 
Roots can be produced for from $4 to $5 per ton. 
See page 56 for other root crops.

rots also can be profitably grown for stock, Long
