Aristocratic Seeds 



This year more than ever before it will pay you to be sure of the source of 

 your seed s ipply. B. S. 5C B. CO.'s SEEDS are ARISTOCRATIC SEEDS. 



bred from the hardiest and best strains, by the foremost growers in this country 

 and abroad. Many of our strains are direct descendants of single plant selec- 

 tions, grown and produced by men to whom fine seed stocks are a life work 

 as well as a means of livelihood. 



The past season was the most disastrous growing season we have ever ex' 

 perienced. Almost without exception from the Atlantic to the Pacific our 

 growers have only been able to make partial delivery on the seeds we con* 

 tracted for in February, 1934. 



Reports of failure and partial failures commenced coming in during August, 

 and when the seeds were finally harvested, it was found that due to the 

 drought there were many more immature seeds than usual, which had to be 

 screened or blown out. This again reduced available new crop supplies. 



Wholesale prices have increased and much seed of doubtful quality will 

 certainly be offered for sale. We wish to remind you again that all B. S. 8C B. 

 CO.'S SEEDS are ARISTOCRATIC SEEDS from the best growers and are 

 thoroughly tested for germination before being offered for sale.
