sembling the Coconut or Almond. The meat is snow-hite, 
covered with a thin shell or skin of brown color. It grows 
close to the surface. Is very prolific, a single nut yielding 
from 200 to 300 nuts in a hill and will do well in any kind 
of soil. If nuts are planted in the spring a big crop can 
be expected about potato harvest time. Usually eaten raw

Gentlemen: 
I don’t know if you are going to issue any Catalogue 
for 1944 but if you are I wish to pass on a few words to 
my friends and all Victory Gardeners everywhere. 
I was very well pleased this year with all the Vegetable 
Seeds from you. May I mention your Summer Triumph 
lettuce first because it deserves first place in every garden. 
I am proud of the fact that I am responsible for the 
popularity of this lettuce all over United States. Winter- 
keeper Beets were grown to a larger extend and that’s 
my number two responsibility. Carrot National Bunching, 
Watermelon Siberian and there is a newcomer Sweet Corn 
Golden Midget. In my 40 years experience as a gardener 
I haven’t had one comeback as yet in an advisory capacity. 
I can recommend your seeds to every gardener as I like to 
see everybody to have success, pleasure and profit from 
growing the very best with least effort. 
Very truly yours 
LAD. J. MULLER.
