ONE of the interesting things about our 

 business is, that every so often a man 

 who for years has been buying cer- 

 tain seeds from us, will stop for a season 

 and try some other seeds. 



In nine cases out of ten, however, back he 

 comes the next year and buys a larger as- 

 sortment than ever. 



It's like a fellow's going away from home 

 for a time— when he comes back, he appre- 

 ciates the home as he never did before. 

 Whether you are one of our stick-tight cus- 



tomers, an entirely new one, or an old one 

 returning to the fold, you will find the 1917 

 catalogue has the usual number of goodly 

 new things. Things that have been tried 

 and tested as only Sutton's try and test. It's 

 this continual painstaking trying and testing 

 that makes Sutton's seeds dependable. 



Our catalogue is so elaborate and expensive 

 to produce, that you will readily appreciate 

 why we make a small charge of 35c for a 

 copy; but this is promptly refunded when 

 your orders amount to $5.00 or more.

his acreage, seedsmen say, will be 

 checked not only by the cost of securing 

 a supply of seed, but by the increased 

 price of farm labor and of fertilizers as 

 well. 



In explanation of the rise of seed 

 prices, dealers say that the primary 

 cause is the actual shortage, which in 

 turn is due to several conditions. In- 

 stead of holding back the usual propor- 

 tion of their crops for seed last year, 

 the farmers are said to have been lured 

 by the demand at high prices and to 

 have sold most of the portions that they 

 usually held back for seeding. The em- 

 bargoes put by most of the European 

 nations on the export of seed have been 

 another contributing factor and the un- 

 favorable weather of 1916 also played 

 a large part in bringing about the pres- 

 ent conditions. 



"But the predominant cause is actual 

 shortage," said a member of one of the 

 largest seed firms in New York. ' * There 

 was not one good vegetable seed crop 

 in 1916. Hay and tobacco were the only 

 good crops of the year. These condi- 

 tions are, of course, reflected in the 

 range of seed prices this year. 



"So acute is the shortage in some 

 lines that one firm is sending out to its 

 customers, as its annual souvenir, beans 

 mounted as stickpins.
