Mr. Archibald Dessert Examining Lettuce Varieties 
TRIAL GROUNDS—They make our Seeds a SURE BET 
Of all the activities of good seed breeders and growers, Trial Grounds 
are the soundest bases for determining quality and suitability of strains. 
Here old strains are tried against the new under identical growing con- 
ditions. Here are determined the exact quality of all our stock seeds, and 
all the seeds we produce. 
Here new selections are made, and increased from a few precious seeds. 
Here are rejected those undesirable selections which have not shown improve- 
ment over the characteristics of their parents. 
Here expert judgment has the finest chance to work—here we reestablish 
yearly our faith in our seeds.
