MANNS' SUPERIOR FARM SEEDS 



Our fair dealing and conservative metliods have resulted in an enormous increase in the volume of our field seed busi- 

 ness, and we are thoroughly convinced that high quality seed at a reasonable price will make many more pleased customers 

 during this year. 



Our experience In this line and our equipment protect you from the many losses which must result from the planting 

 of Inferior seed, which is expensive at any price. All seeds offered must strictly conform to our high standards, and pur- 

 chasers may depend upon our best efforts to supply only seed which is fresh, pure and free from weeds. 



Continual market fluctuations make it impossible to quote firm prices here; changes are made almost daily. We shall, 

 therefore, appreciate the opportunity to mail samples and quote the very latest price on any quantity. 



When comparing quotations, consider both purity and germination.
