ROBSON 
QUALITY SEEDS, HALL, NEW YORK 1 
TESTED IN THE LABORATORY 
All Robson Quality Seeds are tested in the 
laboratory for germination and vigor. Robson 
seeds must meet standards much higher than 
the State or Federal requirements. 
On each packet of vegetable or flower seed 
is plainly printed the percentage of the seed 
that may under good conditions be expected 
to produce normal plants. Many states do not 
require seedsmen to include this information. 
It is an added service that goes with Robson 
Quality Seeds. 
ROBSON TRIPLE-TESTED 
Mra 
The second step in the testing and distri- 
bution of Robson Quality Seeds is the trial 
grounds. Here samples of the different lots 
of vegetable and flower seeds are planted 
and compared as to growth, uniformity and 
maturity. Here new vegetables and flowers are 
tested to determine their apparent value and 
place as commercial or home garden varieties. 
The results of these tests together with 
regional trials determine what new varieties 
are listed in this catalog.

TESTED ON THE TABLE 
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. 
This also applies to vegetables. We do not 
eat with our eyes alone. A vegetable variety 
to be highly recommended in this catalog 
must have acceptable appearance and high 
eating quality. 
Before a new variety can meet Robson High 
Quality standards it must be approved by 
family taste panels. One of the most critical 
of these is Gordon and Thelma Jones together 
with ‘Tommy and Susan. Gordon has charge 
of the Robson trial grounds.
