Several years ago I bought my garden and farm seeds of you and sold several 
neighbors. All were perfectly satisfied. I have had several failures by depending 
on other sources so am enclosing order for this year’s needs. We know when we 
plant Gunson’s we will have results if good seeds will get it.
