SEEDS THAT GROW FROM FOLKS THAT 
KNOW 
The photograph below shows a germinator tray 
with sprouting seeds. This is.one of the ways we 
test seeds for germination. In our well-equipped 
laboratory a full-time analyst is employed who ts 
continually checking all lots of seed for purity 
and germination. Every package of seed ts stamped 
with a code letter and number and we can give 
you our laboratory test on any lot of seed if you 
will give us this number. All field seeds are 
shipped with a tag bearing our laboratory test both 
for purity and germination.

est pumpkin grown today. It will produce as high

canned immediately, They pack out the deepest 
gold color one could imagine. It has three out-

to insect pests. It is not suitable for Jack o’ Lan-
