“T gave samples of corn, cucumber and squash seeds to friends in 
Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Utah, and have received enthusiastic 
reports from most of them, particularly praising the Seneca Chief 
sweet corn. Even here in Oklahoma where growing conditions 
vary greatly from those we have become accustomed to in the East 
we enjoyed superior corn to that grown by our neighbors. 
“T certainly join my friends in praising your seeds, the fine way 
you handle them, their quality as to germination and variety.”
