season we have ever had. Our season 

 commenced very late, due to the con- 

 tinued drought in this section of the 

 country for the last two years. During 

 the latter part of the summer and win- 

 ter of 1910 it seemed there was no 

 prospect of any more rain. People 

 had absolutely quit making any prepa- 

 rations for planting, and, in fact, had 

 abandoned the idea of using any more 

 seed until rains became more general. 

 Our rains commenced in the early part 

 of February, and from that time trade 

 has been all that could be expected. In 

 fact, we have never had such a rush 

 from all sections of the country, and it 

 still continues. Crops are good. The 

 stands of cotton and corn are complete, 

 and we are having ideal weather at the 

 present time. R. D.

We have found our mail order busi- 

 ness, which started with the first of 

 January, to be the best we have had 

 since we have been in business. During 

 February and March we were simply 

 snowed under with orders and found 

 it very diflBcult to keep up. We have 

 also had an exceptionally good season 

 in wholesale lines, especially with our 

 field seed department. We have sold 

 pnore cotton seed this season than ever 

 before. 



We also have a large wholesale packet 

 trade and this line has also been unusu- 

 ally good, as we have had a great many 

 refill orders. We put out what is con- 

 sidered one of the handsomest lines of 

 lithographed packets on the market and 

 in addition to this we loan our custom- 

 ers display cases for them, which of 

 course helps a great deal. This display 

 cabinet is the nicest and most conve- 

 nient thing of the kind that we know of 

 being sent out in this country. 



Just at this time we are having a 

 new warehouse constructed for our 

 wholesale and mail order business. This 

 house will be 100 x 150 feet, consisting 

 of three stories and basement; on one 

 side will have trackage for four or five 

 cars and on the other a wagon loading 

 dock 150 feet long. In this building we 

 will have elevators and recleaning ma- 

 chinery for all kinds of seeds, also a 

 special elevator -aad cleaning outfit for 

 our poultry food business, as we have

 We also will have a spiraiDif'i^v^yrfpft)

 without having to use the elevator. 

 We figure that this will be a consider- 

 able saving.

 too good for you. To buy anything short of 

 the best is poor economy.
