*T can say that no farmer will go 
wrong by sowing Slate’s Tobacco seed. 
My father bought his first seed from you 
61 years ago and I have been using them 
for 45 years. I have tried other kinds of 
seed but always come back to Slate and 
can recommend yours to be the best.” 
So writes Mr. J. R. Trotter, Route 3, 
High: Point, N. C. It is from old 
friends and men of long experience in 
growing tobacco that we receive our 
highest praise. The men who know 
wil tell you that Slate’s Seeds are

ANDY BECK 
“T have used Slate’s Seeds for 
ten to fifteen years and they are 
the best I ever used. I always get 
more for my tobacco when I use 
Slate’s Seeds, so I am well satis- 
fied. I am enclosing a picture.

“T have used your seed for years and 
have not found their equal anywhere. I 
am sending you a photo of our tobacco 
field grown from your seed.”’

“We got one ounce of tobacco seed 
from you this year and sowed them by 
themselves, and the same day we sowed 
two other beds. The seed bought from 
you produced much the finest plants, so 
I am sure they are worth the price you 
get.” MRS. D. D. McGHEE, 
Frederick Hall, Va. 
MR. W. N. WILKERSON 
“T had a fellow to ask me why I 
ordered from you when I could buy else- 
where so much cheaper. I said when I 
order from you I know what I am get- 
ting. I have been using your tobacco 
seed for the past ten or fifteen years and 
have found them to be what you claim.”

“IT have been ordering tobacco seeds 
from you for about eighteen years. I 
have ordered a few times from others but 
I have never found any seed that pro- 
duced as healthy a plant as the seeds 
that I got from you. I recommend your 
seed to several people. This does not 
only apply to tobacco seed but to every- 
thing that you put out. As I have always 
heard that there was nothing any better 
than experience. Every person that works 
with Mr. Slate is well experienced on the

ROY EGGERS 
For years, we have received a 
strong letter of recommendation 
from our good friend, Mr. Roy 
Eggers. He has been using Slate’s 
Seeds for a long time and each 
year, he reports good crops and 
good prices. On November 15, 
1940, he writes us as follows: ‘TI 
am writing you about the luck I 
had with your 8052—Root-Rot Re- 
sistant Burley #5. As you know 
1940 was a bad year but my to- 
baeco was the best that I have 
raised in five years. I cut it in 77 
days from time of setting and 
graded it 53 days from cutting. I 
am sending you a picture of the 
tobacco, my wife and me. I have 
been offered 20c lb. for all grades 
but did not sell. Wishing you lots 
of good luck with your good seed, 
I am 
ROY EGGERS.”
