©o Our Customers— 
\) 7 HEN we began the seed business over seventy-five years ago, we realized, as few seedsmen did then, that the foundation of 
all successful crops depended largely on good seed. We determined that we would sell only the “BEST, and began breeding 
selected strains, urging upon all farmers and market gardeners that there was no economy 1n buying seed of unknown purity 
and germination. Since then others have come to see our viewpoint, and at the present time every State, through its agricultural 
Department, is advising farmers to BUY ONLY THE BEST SEEDS. Today our ‘‘THOROBRED SEEDS” are known world-wide, and 
thousands of the most successful farmers, home and market gardeners pronounce them “THE BEST BY TEST.
