Mattituck, L. I., Nov. 29,, ’48—Your Sterling Strain of Fordhook Bush Limas 
turned out best for us in 19438. From 1% acres planted to your seed we harvested one 
crop early, then cultivated in some nitrate of soda and harvested another good crop 
later. Total receipts for the 114 acres $1,600.00. The best we ever did with Fordhooks.
