HERE are reasons why sensible people should buy their seeds of JOHNSON & Stokes. More than one hundred thousand such people have found by experience what these reasons are ; but many thousands of new cus tomers, who are seeking such a house, ought to know, too.

Growing seeds of the right sort is a difficult business. It requires rare facilities and experience just to grow good seeds. But we undertake more than this. The best sort of a seed business must be carried on doubly, so to speak, — it must grow plants, and it must grow seeds. It must grow the plants first, to find out whether the seeds of those plants are “worth growing.

Few seed houses will take the trouble to do this. We make it a chief feature of our business. What we do is not merely to grow seeds : it is to grow the right seeds, from tested stocks. Our customers get not merely seeds that will grow : they get seeds that it will pay them to grow.
