Fifty-one Years—Forbes Seeds for Best Seeds 
Changes are an important part of our American way of life. 
Some are definitely improvements, others questionable. For 
over fifty years Forbes Seed Service has closely examined the 
changes in seed strains and has conservatively offered only 
those new varieties which we believe have real merit. 
This year we suggest that you try some of the following: 
Beans, Dwarf Green, Supergreen Peas, Freezonian 
Beans, Dwarf Cherokee Wax Peas, Greater Progress 
Beans, Dwarf Wax, Puregold Pepper, Golden California Wonder 
Brussels Sprouts, Catskill Radish, Cherry Belle 
Cabbage, Y. R. Racine Market Radish, Scarlet Elite 
Chinese Cabbage, Michihli Squash, Cocozelle Long XXX 
Corn, Hybrid Golden Bounty Tomato, Early Jersey 
Lettuce, Premier Great Lakes Tomato, Southland 
Lettuce, Progress (Imperial 2428) Tomato, Wisconsin No. 55 
By keeping you abreast of the times we offer an essential 
service. All we ask in return Is your confidence in Forbes Seeds. 
For your good-will we are truly grateful. It encourages us 
to carry on in our fifty-first year with the firm determimation 
that our high standard of quality. shall never relax. It 1s our 
aim at all times to fully deserve your continued confidence 
through the coming years. 
Sincerely yours
