FIELD SEEDS 



MISCELLANEOUS FIELD SEEDS 



Note, with Special Reference to Prices. At the early date at which, of necessity, this catalogue goes into the printer's hands, 

 many of the seeds listed on this and the three following pages are still in the fields, curing or being harvested. It is physically im- 

 possible, therefore, to give prices, except in isolated instances. However, to protect our customers, as well as ourselves, we shall at 

 all times be glad to submit latest quotations on any of the items listed, be they priced now or not. We know that, as the crops are 

 turned into the warehouses and the fit is separated from the unfit, the price situation becomes an easy matter to solve, and we feel 

 sure that by taking this stand we are protecting the best interests of our customers as well.
