PINO'S Vegetable Seeds 
SPERGON: A seed pro- 
tectant in powder form for 
treating seed before plant- 
ing. Spergon protects seed 
from harmful fungi that are 
present in nearly all soils 
which tend to cause decay 
and damping-off, especially 
in cold wet weather. 
Spergon assures better ger- 
mination of the seed and 
produces healthy plants 
that give better yield. 
Success with seeds depends largely upon weather conditions 
and proper care, so in accordance with the universal custom of 
the seed trade, Pino’s Seed Store warrants, to the extent of 
the purchase price, that Seeds or Bulbs sold are as described on 
the container, within recognized tolerances. We give no other 
or further warranty, express or implied.
