LANDRETH'S WARRANTED


GARDEN SEEDS


Are the product of grounds cultivated under the direct superintendence of the subscribers, and from the planting to the maturity of the crops, and their subsequent preparation for sale, each operation is under their personal supervision, aided by careful and experienced foremen in the various departments-the whole so systematically arranged as to insure a degree of certainty advantageous to all concerned.


The ancestor of the present proprietors was the first in this country to rear GARDEN SEEDS on a systematic plan, which, in its results, secured public confidence, and a reputa- tion for them unapproached by any other seeds sold in America, and which they have sus- tained for a period approaching three quarters of a century.


Extract from the Report of the Visiting Committee of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society :


" LANDRETH'S NURSERIES AND GARDENS .- Garden Seeds of the finest quality have been scattered over the country from these grounds, and may always be depended upon. * * * THE SEED ESTABLISHMENT of these Horticulturists is the most extensive in the Union. * * The supply from their grounds is recommended with great confidence."
