This is not the fact, as our Seed Ranch of 320 acres, most of which appears in the picture used by them, is a part of the 900 acre farm referred to by them in their advertisement. The buildings and the immediate foreground of the engraving are part of the C. C. Morse &Co. ranch. Everything in the rear of the long row of Sunflowers which crosses the picture from right to left are the Crops of the Pieters-Wheeler Seed Company, about 320 acres. We are therefore taking this opportunity of notifying The Trade of the apparent misrepresentation. We are still growing seeds on the same tract of land, which our Company and its^Prede- cessor has occupied for about 5 years. We will again grow seeds on the same tract for 1912 and on another 300 acre tract which we have just secured near Hollister. PIETERS-WHEELER SEED COMPANY, Hollister, Calif. Important Postscript: We have recently installed New Machinery in our Cleaning House, including an Air Compresser for thoroughly cleaning each mill between each run of seeds; we are the tirst and only California Seed Growers to introduce this additional precautionary device. All our seeds are grown from selected stocks, carefully I rogued and cleaned and HIGH GRADE in quality. We will have some surplus Onion, Lettuce, Radish and Sweet Peas, which we will be glad to quote to Seedsmen interested. Prices for Growing Crop 1912 will be Promptly Named on Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally
