WHAT IS IN A SEED?. Tl ^WO radish seeds when com- pared will look nearly identical. When planted and grown, the one may easily produce a coarse, acrid, worthless root, while the other may easily produce a smooth, glossy, attrac- tive and tender radish. What makes the difference? The seeds look alike, and the seed which pro- duces the poor radish will weigh as much as the other seed.

We ask them to believe that we are ready to serve them with seeds of the best obtainable quality, grown for them and handled for them with a singl
