I bought from you was wonderful. I have 
been raising herbs for eight or nine years 
and have very good luck. I have bought 
my seeds from - - - - - and several New 
York stores. Being a cautious soul, I did 
the same last summer but added a long row 
of yours at the same time. Yours were the 
first ones up—and the best—so | want your 
price list for this year as soon as it is ready.” 
There are good reasons why you can grow 
more and better plants with these seeds. 
They are not handled roughly, in harvesting 
or cleaning, to break the tender seed coat. 
They are gathered at their prime of ripeness, 
even though this means, in some cases, hand- 
picking of individual seed heads daily over 
a period of two months. After this careful 
harvesting they are dried and then rubbed 
out of the heads, frequently by hand to 
avoid damage to the individual grains. Then 
they are screened to remove all foreign 
material, and by an air separation, sorted to 
discard occasional light or unripe seeds. 
They are then carefully bagged and stored 
at the right temperature and moisture con- 
ditions for the after-ripening period until 
packaging time. Then as a final check— 
each lot is tested for germination and, only 
those which come up to our high standards, 
are packaged and mailed to you. Thus we 
know that there are reasons why our seeds 
are definitely better. Compare them your- 
self. They cost no more and frequently less 
than those which have not received the 
individual attention of Herb specialists!
