ONE OF OUR FARMS AT BUSTLETON, PA. 

Here we prove and make new stocks for the most critical trade 
THIS NEW 1947 CATALOG 
as Is our custom, is offering a limited number of 
varieties of vegetable seeds. We prefer to do 
this and at the same time make a special effort 
toward keeping our stocks true and improving 
them wherever possible. We spare no time or 
expense in producing stock seed that will pro- 
duce the best for critical commercial growers. 
We believe our prices are reasonable and in 
Ine with seeds of the highest quality. 
Our 1947 catalog will give you the correct 
description of the items we list, also a great 
many illustrations of our specials. If there is 
additional information needed relative to our 
different strains, we will be only too glad to 
furnish it if you will write us. 
We have just finished making a new stock 
of Boston Marrow Squash. The field scene and 
illustration on page 34 will give you an idea of 
the crop and the correct shape, but in our 
opinion something else enters into the different 
types of Boston Marrow Squash—and that is 
the color. Ours is the finest very deep red 
color that it is possible to make. Some of this 
Squash has been canned, and the processors 
declared it to be the fmest ever offered. 
The other special we suggest is Rutabaga, 
Purple-Top Yellow Globe, a strain selected and 
produced on our own farms. In it you have a 
stock that will hold its shape even when it 
attains the Inmit in size. 
An illustration will be found on the third 
cover showing the especially large crop we 
produced this year for seed purposes.
