COMSTOCK, FERRE & COMPANY 
SEED GROWERS AND DEALERS 
FOR 130 YEARS — ESTABLISHED 1820 
We are proud to have completed 130 years of 
service to those who garden for pleasure and those 
who garden for profit. During that time we have 
noted vast changes in methods of gardening, and 
equally great advances in methods of seed growing. 
We have been very close to these as, so far as pos- 
sible, we have kept abreast of the changes. 
Farming and gardening have become really scien- 
tific operations, while the novice has greatly in- 
creased opportunities to grow to perfection interesting 
varieties of vegetables and flowers. To continue to 
offer not only the finest varieties, but the finest strains 
of those varieties the growing and handling of seed 
requires continually more ability and knowledge. 
By combining the skill of specialists throughout the 
United States and in many foreign countries with our 
experience in growing seed on our own farms we 
feel that we can offer more than just good seed. With 
every purchase you receive the benefit of careful 
planning and long experience.

among the newer and outstanding varieties.
