Why It Pays To Use 
Southern States Vegetable Seeds 
Whether it is just a small home plot or 
several acres devoted to commercial vege- 
table production, your garden can never be 
better than the seed which you use to plant 
it. 
That’s why your Southern States Coop- 
erative seedsmen carry on a continuous 
program of breeding, selection and check- 
ing of seed varieties so you may be sure of 
getting seeds which will produce good yields 
of high quality vegetables. These programs, 
carried out by trained personnel, are your 
assurance of getting “Seeds That Really 
Grow.”

Selection of snap bean seed is made only in certain 
areas where fields are known to be free of anthracnose 
disease, 
throughout the nation is just one step in 
obtaining the newest and finest vegetable 
varieties for patrons. In addition, the co- 
operative’s Vegetable Seed Service has its 
own programs and its own facilities for 
breeding, producing, processing, and treat- 
ing the seeds you plant. 
Southern States measures the vegetable 
seed it makes available for patrons by 
many yardsticks of quality. The two most 
important ones are the seed’s adaptability 
to the area where it is to be grown and 
its resistance to disease.
