“My garden is looking fine and I only wish you could see it. 
Your seeds are all doing splendidly and I believe I have the finest 
garden in the neighborhood. Quite a few people stop and look 
at it and want to know all about it. Many of them have stated 
that they didn’t have such good luck and I told them it was because 
they didn’t have Robson’s seeds and that they should write to 
Robson Seed Farms of Hall, New York, and we were sure they 
would get the same results as I did.”’
