To Our Friends 
Whether you plant for Profit or Pleasure or for the 
healthful exercise gardening gives you, you surely want 
to get the most possible out of it. To accomplish that you 
need good soil, the “know how” and above all a start 
with good seeds. 
Quality does count. Letherman’s seeds are not ‘‘just 
grown, they are truly bred from selected parents that 
meet requirements 100 per cent. Single plant selections 
are made for each variety and the seed you get is directly 
descended from those perfect plants. 
Strong germination is provided for by proper harvesting, 
cleaning, and grading operations. From 4 to 5 germination 
tests are made of each lot of seed, so with anywhere near 
favorable conditions you can confidently expect vigorous 
growth in your garden. 
This catalog is offered you, not simply as a list of what 
you can select, but is intended to be helpful by suggesting 
best varieties and by giving you directions for growth of 
each kind of vegetable and flower. Added to the com- 
plete listing of seeds are dozens of other items which help 
make gardening and lawn care more productive of the 
best results.

All-America Selections—A. A. S. 
A group in the American Seed Trade Association has 
been named to serve as judges in the selections of winners 
in All-America trails of Flowers and Vegetables each 
year. Trials are made in every section of this country, and 
the entries are made by seed growers under number. The 
judges are experts of long standing and when a variety is 
voted a top rating it is really deserving. We offer the All- 
America Winners for 1952 and most of those given Awards 
over the past years. 
On the right is pictured the New Wade Bush Green 
Pod Bean, awarded the Gold Medal Award for 1959.

young lady in the illustration.
