VEGETABLE SEEDS 
WE LIST 200 of the Ieading and best varieties of seeds 
and take greatest care to secure only the best strains. 
Our seed is grown especially for us by the most reliable 
growers in various parts of the world, so that it may be 
produced in the section that is best suited for the variety. 
For example, our Lima Beans are grown in California; Beans, 
in Idaho; Cantaloupe, in Colorado; Corn, in Connecticut; 
Onion sets, in IIlinois, etc. Contracts with growers are placed 
twelve to eighteen months before the seed is to be delivered 
or before the seed-grower plants the seed stock. This is 
done to secure only fresh and highest quality seeds for our 
customers. 
Orol Ledden, Sr., who has devoted thirty-eight years to 
the seed business and has been a plant-grower all his life, 
probably is better acquainted with the farming industry 
and the gardener’s problems than any other man in the seed 
business today. We say this because he was born and reared 

on a large farm in Gloucester County, New Jersey; his father 
was a farmer and grew plants and seeds. He owns and operates 
two large farms and other farmland totaling about 300 acres. 
He has experimented with all of the varieties of vegetable 
seeds listed in this book and has grown them on a commercial 
scale. He is therefore well acquainted with their individual 
characteristics. 
We endeavor at all times to secure the highest quality 
seeds obtainable and to offer these high standard seeds at 
minimum prices. No seed is allowed to be sold that we 
know is poor in germination or in any way inferior. 
We prepay transportation charges on all of our seeds except 
quarter bushels or more of Beans, Corn, Onion Sets, and 
Peas at bushel rates. For prepayment of these, please add 
1 cent per pound to the price. This enables our many mail- 
order customers to secure Ledden’s Seeds at no extra cost. 
No charge is made for packing or package. 
Half-ounce sold at ounce rate; 14-pound sold at pound rate; 1/4 or 1/2-bushel sold at bushel rate
