SUPERIOR FARM SEEDS 



MANNS' SUPERIOR FARM SEEDS 



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. 



When comparing quotations, consider both purity and germin- 



ation.
