For Further Development. ii 





some day the coming summer we want you to be sure to visit Twilley’s Seed Trials and 
Improvement Grounds. You will see much that will interest you. There will be hundreds of 
trials of cantaloupes, cucumbers, watermelons, tomatoes, peppers, beans, squash, hybrid 
corn, eggplant, and other crops. 
To show how extensively we search for better strains and varieties for your use, it would 
be necessary to travel over 15,000 miles by auto to peronally collect samples of all the differ- 
ent strains and varieties that will be planted in our trials this year. Our work in seed select- 
ion is widely known.

““Let’s Have A Friendly Seed Tatkh” 
You and I are interested in good seed so lets talk seed. I was born and raised on the 
farm. 
After a time got interested in growing and selling seed, and became acquainted with 
some of the folks in the United States Department of Agriculture and the Maryland Experiment 
Station. Found these men knew a lot I didn’t know so told my father, to whom I owe my in- 
terest in good seed, that I was going to the Maryland College of Agriculure. After graduation, 
back in 1921, I kept on growing seed. Don’t know how I did it, but pretty soon folks from the 
Gulf States to New York were writing in for Twilley’s Seed. Been at it ever since, and like it. 
Here is an important thing about buying Twilley’s Seed. When you order seed I do not 
think of selling you a pound of seed, for so much money; instead I think of sending you a 
good start for your crop. Taking chances out of seed buying is my obligation to every one 
of my customers. 
If your are in this section be sure to visit Twilley’s Seed Improvement Grounds. We will 
be glad to show you our seed fields.
