SEEDLING TRIALS 
Our seedling trials are the most extensive of any in the country; more than one 
hundred varieties from all parts of the country, have already been scheduled for trials 
in 1950. These require a great deal of time in observation and keeping of records, so 
we must request that we not be asked to grow your seedling unless you intend that we 
introduce it, if introduction appears to be warranted. Our introductions are grown 
here at least one year prior to being released.
