SUPERIOR QUALITY. None finer! Our horti- 
cultural buying staff, acknowledged experts, 
select only the finest strains from the best 
growers here and abroad. Only special 
varieties are grown by us locally because 
of the hazards of seasons and climate.

seeds but triple-tested under strict laboratory 
control. Tested for germination twice alter 
harvest and tested again in trial gardens for 
trueness to type, color, balance of mixture. 
Tested to reduce to the barest minimum the 
danger of disappointment to the grower when 
living seeds are planted in the soil.

rates have gone up repeatedly, but we still ; 
pay the postage to your door on all garden 
seeds and bulbs when remittance accom-
