Rockland, Wis., Sept. 6, 1943.—Dear Sirs: 
Please send me another one of your Culture 
Books and Canning Guide. My first copy met 
with a damaging accident. I miss it terribly. It 
is a wonderful concise book. I used it all sum- 






mer. My garden was a tremendous success. 
We've had a succession of vegetables from the 
beginning. My tomatoes from your seeds are 
beauties, sold several bushels and canned a great 
many and there are bushels still on the vines. 
Thank you. Mrs. Lester Hansen.
