434 Big Boston—Old Reliable 
Hastings, Minn., Sept. 8, 1943. Gentlemen: You may be interested in knowing that 
the $8.00 order for garden seeds that I gave you last February has given wonderful 
satisfaction and produced grand results for us. Our garden plot is 80 by 65 feet, and 
_we had all the vegetables we could use all summer, canning many, giving away more, 
and sold vegetables from it totaling $55.00. Had Tomatoes planted in a corner 30 by 
, 86 feet, three different varieties all obtained from Condon’s Seed, and this patch pro- 
duced a great quantity of sauce, Tomato Juice, and preserves, all our table Tomatoes, 
and we sold over $43.00 worth in addition. All this in spite of the fact that our Min- 
nesota spring season was very unfavorable for growing. I advise all Minnesota gar- 
deners that have heretofore been under the impression that they must plant seeds 
grown in their own locality, for good results to try Condon’s Seeds, they have done a 
swell job for us. Order for seeds for 1944 attached to this letter.—Yours Truly—
