1919 - 1939

Realining the importance of better seeds and a long felt need by the commercial grower, who must make his liv¬ ing from the soil, for dependable seeds, Mr. Paul H. Baer- mann on duly 16, 1919 founded the business bearing his name t'^day.

The first principle was contracting with seed growers both in this country and abroad v/ho had the highest rep¬ utations of growing the best and the best quality only, in their special lines. As an added precaution, all seeds on arrival were carefully tested for germination, as they are to this day.

Our mott^ ’’TBSTED SEEDS" is no mere boast, f-^r every year all seeds we sell are tested for germination and the actual grown tests arci the date of the test with the per¬ centage of germination are ready for your inspection at any time. Not just a figure of the germination to show you.

Mr. Paul H- Baermann passed on, March 19, 1936 after devoting forty-one years of his life to the seed business, and leaving a host of friends who knew" and felt the influence of his integrity in supplying the best quality and reliable seeds.obtainable.

These principles are being carried on to the letter today by his wife, Mrs. Alma Baermann, w"ho worked by his side since the opening day and is now President of the firm, together with the s'^n Hr. Donald Baermann, now Sec’y. & Treas. who entered the firm in 19D1.

We w’ish to thank our old customers, many of w"hom are buying from us since the day we opened our door , for their • loyal support, and we know' the new" customers will alsu find that it pays to buy seed (the first and most important step to success in agriculture) that they can have the utmost confidence in.

you will find our prices pleasingly low' considering the high quality of the seed offered.

A discount of 5% for cash with order or on delivery to Wholesale buj'ers only, that is, Market Gardeners, Florists, Nurserymen, Institutions etc, w'ill be allowed on Vegetable and Flov/er seeds only that total $3«00 or more.

All Vegetable and Flower seed, with the exception of Beans, Peas and sweet Corn, will be shipped as you specify, carriage charges prepaid, at absolutely no cost to you for postage, packing, bags, etc.
