OUR CATALOGUE FOR 1921 



PLATT'S STRAIN OF EVERGREEN CORN 



This is a new and greatly improved strain of the well-known 

 Stowell's Evergreen Corn. 



Our growers brought out this strain by making a careful 

 cross between the ordinary strain of Stowell's Evergreen and 

 an earlier strain. 



The yields have been somewhat phenomenal, running as 

 high as 175 bus. per acre, a majority of the stalks having 

 two ears. 



A very desirable trait is that it is a week or ten days earlier 

 than the ordinary Stowell's Evergreen. 



The kernels tend to be long and narrow, and it is not un- 

 common for the ears to have IS and 20 rows; in fact, a few 

 run as high as 22 rows. 



Our growers give us a somewhat remarkable guarantee, 

 viz.: The shelled corn is ALL "TIPPED and BUTTED," 

 ALL THE CORN THEIR OWN GROWING, and STRICTLY 

 OF THE CROP OF 191S. 



We feel safe in saying that there is no corn on the market 

 more sweet and tender, or better suited to the needs of the 

 private trade. 



The slight additional cost of the seed is insignificant indeed 

 when the customer realizes the fancy seed he is getting and 

 the increased yields of fancy corn that he will secure later.

We appreciate the 

 ing all the time. We 



Seeds, Bulbs and Plants have been admitted to the Parcel Post 

 rate of postage, and are now carried at the same rate as other mer- 

 chandise, with the exception that packages weighing up to 8 ounces 

 are carried at the rate of lc for each 2 ounces, regardless of distance. 

 Remember, however, that prices quoted in this catalogue on packets, 

 ounces and one-quarter pounds are postpaid, but when larger quan- 

 tities are ordered sent by mail, add the required postage as per rate 

 table to the left. When pounds are ordered, remit postage for 2 pounds; 

 when 2 pounds are ordered, remit postage for 3 pounds; and so on, 

 as the wrapping of the packages will make it run over the actual 

 weight ordered. When figuring the amount of postage, if in doubt 

 as to the exact amount required, remit even more than you think 

 necessary, and we will return the amount not needed, as we cannot 

 send packages postage collect, nor charge on our books small amounts 

 due for postage stamps. When ordering pints, remit for postage on 

 1 pound mailing weight, and for quarts remit for 2 pounds mailing 

 weight. 



If ybu are in doubt as to what Zone you are in from Washington, ask 

 y. mr postmaster. The weight limit in the first and second Zones is 50 

 pounds : all other zones. 20 pounds, 

 cannot be sent by Parcel Post; these should be ordered sent by express or 



patronage you have given us during the past year. Our business is grow- 

 attribute this to our efforts to furnish only high-grade seeds.
