THE SEEDS will be gambled against high production costs plus the use of the land— 
be sure they are good. 
A test can show the percentage of pure seed and the percentage of seed that will grow 
but it cannot show the adaptability, the variety or the breeding of the seeds. 
They can be good seed, of high germination and purity, of the proper variety and of 
good breeding but if they are not adapted, they should never be planted. 
Experience has taught and continues to teach that the seeds best adapted to your 
soil and climate may come from some far distant section, therefore, we say the seed 
business is more of a study than a business. 
In 1900 John B. Gill established the Roswell Seed Company and began selling:— 
SEEDS ADAPTED TO THE SOUTHWEST 
Selling good seeds is our business but we also carry closely associated lines such as 
fertilizers, weed killers, insecticides, sprayers, seed treatments and other items which 
make for increased farm production.
