This folder describes everything we sell. We do not have a catalogue. 

For 36 years we have specialized in Tomatoes, Watermelons, and Cantaloupes. 
These are the kinds we know best, and in giving them all our time and energy, we 
confidently believe we can furnish you seeds that are truly better. Our main work 
has been to find and develop hardier and more Drouth-Resistant Strains, that will 
produce Quality Crops under hardships that cause common kinds to fail. In this, we 
think we have succeeded. 
Our Seeds Grow; We do not sell seeds unless germination tests show that it will 
grow. 
Terms: Cash-With-Order to all alike. Send P. O. Money Order, Coins, or Bills— 
or le stamps for orders of 20c Or less. Checks for $1.00 or more accepted, if 5c is 
added for bank collection charges. We pay postage on all seeds, and try to fill every 
order the day received. 
We offer every kind of Tomato adapted to Texas, and what we think the best 
Watermelons and Cantaloupes. After 36 years, these are the best quality, most drouth- 
resistant and surest-to-make strains we have found, 
Most Tomatoes become “strong” and distasteful when they run down in size 
because of drouth and hot weather, but this is not true of the “Porter-type” Tomatoes. 
A great many people, during the terrible drouth last summer (we had only six inches 
of rain from January 1st until September 11th) called our attention to the fact that 
Porter Tomato, Scarlet Globe, and Porter’s Pride, retained their extra fine flavor, 
even though the fruits were under-sized. 
We believe you will find suggestions for growing—preparing ground, time of 
planting, spacing, cultivating, etc.—printed on our packets most helpful. These 
suggestions are based on our many years experience in Trial Grounds, Gardens, and 
Fields—and on the experience of many other successful growers. 
We still Specialize in Better Tomato, Watermelon, and Cantaloupe Seed, but have 
added a Select Line of other Vegetable and Flower Seeds, which you will find described 
and priced elsewhere in this Folder. 

Our booklet, “How We Grow Tomatoes and Melons,” gives every detail from 
selecting the seed and soil, to harvesting the crop. It is what we have learned in a 
lifetime of specializing in these crops, and we think well worth the price—$1.00. If 
it helps you grow even 1/2 bushel more tomatoes, or 2 more big melons, it pays for 
itself,
