SEEDS IN ONE POUND SEALED CLOTH BAGS 
aN Nearly all articles one purchases nowadays carry 
the manufacturer’s name, or are put up in packages 
by the manufacturer or producer. This has resulted 
in a great benefit to the consumer because the maker 
is proud of his name and reputation, and gives 
greater care in production and distribution. 
You no longer purchase crackers in bulk from the 
barrel. Why not purchase seed in the original pack- 
age sealed by the grower? 
A good many years ago we began looking about 
for an ideal package in which to put 
up seeds and properly identify them 
with our name so that the planter pur- 
chasing direct from us or through a 
dealer could be more certain as to the 
identity of the seed. Cotton bags were 
decided upon for this purpose because 
they were substantial and convenient 
in the one pound size. These bags are 
marked with the variety and lot num- 
ber. It is possible for the more par- 
ticular planter to then refer to the lot 
number in later orders and make cer- 
tain that he is receiving the same 
strain of the variety formerly used. 
The bags carry a patented seal which, 
when intact, insures the planter that 
he is getting seed we packaged; elimi- 
nating possibility of mixture that might 
result from severai handlings and re- 
labeling of the seed in its course 
through the ordinary channels of trade. 
Local seed dealers like this style 
package because of its attractive dis- 
play possibilities and because they can 
recommend the seed to their customers 
with reasonable confidence in the proper 
performance of the seed. Lot numbers 
appearing On each bag help in comply- 
ing with the Federal Seed Law. The 
only seeds packed in the 1 Ib. sealed 
bags for distribution through dealers 
are varieties that are specialties with 
US. 
As far as shippers and associations 
are concerned, the one pound sealed 
cloth bag is an ideal package for dis- 
tribution to their farmer growers. 
Planters find them desirable because 
of the ease in checking the amount of 
seed being planted per acre, as well as 
the confidence enjoyed by knowing 
that the seed has been handled in bulk 
the fewest possible number of times.

DAYS TO MATURITY 
The number of days required by any 
particular variety to produce garden stuff 
ready for table use varies from year to 
year and depends upon growing” and 
seasonal conditions. In our description 
of most varieties we are giving the aver- 
age number of days from seéd to edible 
stage. Time given for broccoli, cabbage, 
cauliflower, celery, pepper and tomato is 
days from setting plants to marketing 
fruits. Figures are based on growing 
conditions here and are meant only for 
convenience in comparing earliness of 
varieties. Less time to maturity may be 
required in the South and for late 
planted crops. #
