Pelleted Seed and Miscellaneous Letherman’s 


Now We Have for You 
The NEW and GOOD—PELLETED SEEDS 
WHAT THAT MEANS. To pellet seeds means the process of coating each single individual seed with a 
composition that makes it grow better and faster and protects it from diseases and insects present in the soil. 
It also, of course, increases the size of the seeds so that they can be readily handled and planted individually. 
Seeds thus can be properly spaced in the row, getting away from tiresome ‘thinning out’ operations. 
For the first time we are able to offer you as listed below, many of the best varieties of vegetables and 
flowers. 
Our composition of plant food, hormones, fungicides and insecticides was developed by the Dow 
Chemical Co. It is scientifically made and has several years of investigation and proof behind it. As soil 
moisture comes into contact with the seed the coating softens and the seeds germinate. We have glowiag 
reports of earlier crops and bigger crops, and we urge you to give pelleted seeds serious consideration 
and at least a trial in 1950. 
At present, the varieties are only offered by the packet. However, each packet contains a generous 
amount of seed.
