D SEEDS 
a: 
Every packet, every pound of our vegetable seeds is Laboratory Tested to assure 
you High Germination. We know they are ready and “anxious” to grow before they 
are ever put in the packet and bags to be sent out to you. Literally, thousands of these 
tests are made each year in our laboratory. That’s one reason why our customers re- 
port such good stands and such high yields from their gardens.

IN OUR 76-ACRE TEST GARDENS 
Every year we plant scores of varieties of vegetables in our 76-acre test gar- 
dens . . . old favorite varieties and new ones, too. In these tests we search out the 
thriftier, heavier yielding varieties. Time and again we discover a superior plant grow- 
ing in an already established strain. From this superior plant our improved strains 
are developed. The name of the variety is the same but our tests show one strain to be 
very much better than the others. It is the better, the improved strains, we packet for 
our customers. (See lower left for planting details.) 


ON OUR TABLES 
Yes, that's the final and very important test . . . because you want the finer 
textured, finer flavored vegetables from your garden. We bring in truck loads of 
vegetables from our test gardens and just pass them out to folks here at the seedhouse 
to try in their own kitchens. From all their reports we know exactly which varieties 
give the greatest taste satisfaction. Plant our seeds and enjoy the finer textured, finer 
flavored, really nicer varieties.
