MANNS’ SUPERIOR FARM 
Our fair dealing and conservative methods have resulted in an 
enormous increase in the volume of our field seed business, and 
we are thoroughly convinced that high quality seed at a reason- 
able 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 inefrior 
seed, which is expensive at any price. All seeds offered must 
strictly conform to our high standards, and purchasers may de- 
depnd 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, there- 
fore, appreciate the opportunity to mail samples and quote the 
very latest price on any quantity.
