Seed Testimonials 
From Farmland, Indiana: “I am sending 
you a snapshot of one of my delphinium 
plants which I grew from your Pacific Hybrid 
Seed. This was the first blooming of the 
plant which was so small in the fall at re- 
setting time that I was afraid it would win- 
ter kill. The spikes of bloom measured 31 
inches long and 6 inches in diameter, each 
floret measuring 23/4, inches in diameter. The 
color is a vivid blue with the inside petals 
violet. It was a sensation both in color and 
size at the flower show.” 
From Clarksburg, Calif.: “Want to tell you 
that flowers from your pansy seed are caus- 
ing many comments. I am delighted. They 
are so beautifully colored and marked and 
simply huge. 
“Also the Blue Violas have bloomed con- 
tinuously all winter and are a mass of bloom 
now.” 
From San Carlos, California: “I have 
double frilled variegated petunias that have 
been the talk of this community and I raised 
them from the seeds that I bought from you. 
Everybody down here could not believe that 
they were raised from seed. The gladiolus 
bulbs you sent me were also the best I have 
ever seen and such wonderful varieties.” 
From Roseville, Calif.: “I had wonderful 
luck with your bulbs last year, even though 
we had some extremely warm weather. 
“The Giant Orange Marigolds I raised 
from your seed were absolutely perfect. I 
started them late in May, in flats, transplant- 
ing to the garden, and we picked the last 
bouquet for Christmas Day. The blossoms 
on the Marigolds were immense. 
“The Gigantea ‘Phlox’ were also beauti- 
ful.” 
From Hamburg, N. Y.: “In regards to the 
different seeds I got from you this year. I 
don’t see how you do it, but seeds from you 
germinate, while other seeds purchased 
elsewhere, seem lifeless.” 
From Brady, Texas: “The seed I've always 
had from you has always germinated nearly 
100% every time so I'm telegraphing you 
for seed and from now on I'll never order 
any seed except from you. There's something 
about your seed that is different.” 
From Fenton, Michigan: “Seed from you 
germinated the best of any seed I ever had, 
nearly 100%.” 
From Pearl City, Oahu, T. H.: “Kindly mail 
me a package of Selected Dahlia seed, 50 
seeds for $1.50. Enclosed you will find check 
to cover cost. 
“I enjoyed the seeds I bought from you 
two years ago so much that I am reorder- 
ing. 
From Los Angeles, Calif: “Seeds pur- 
chased from you last year exceeded any- 
thing I have ever planted for the last ten 
years
