gardening, O. A. C , “are usually more vigorous
snd better acclimated for growing crops of vege
tables than those purchased elsewhere.”
G ill Uro*. Northwest-grown seeds are famed
far and wide for their superior qualities. Market
gardeners everywhere are using them in prefer
ence to any other kind. Over 800 market g ar
deners in the Northwest are now customers, and
the list is steadily growing. Thousand» of home
gardeners also are so thoroughly satisfied that
they order year after year. One trial of seed
usually creates a permanent customer.
were market gardeners themselves
twenty years ago. Their farm, six miles east of
Portland, won a reputation for highest quality
vegetables. They developed special strains, and
in 1910 decided to grow acclimated seed, not only
for their own use but for sale. Thus was born
their seed business which today is growing by
leaps and bounds.
I f you have never tried these seeds, order the
special collection listed below. You will be well
