Lawrence, Kansas. 
Wholesale Catalog 
To the Trades 
Dear Sir: 
It is with much pleasure that we send you this Wholesale 
Catalog and Price list of the Fiftieth Year of our business. 
The past half century has seen our business grow from a little 
retail seed shop to one of the largest seed establishments of the 
country. 
We have never in the history of our business seen a year 
of so many shortages as appear this year. The crops of Beans, 
Peas and Sweet Corn in this country were very short, there are 
many short crops in Europe, European countries have made 
embargoes prohibiting the export of some seeds, and added to 
this is the very slow service in letters, cables and freight ship- 
ments. 
There is sure to be a marked shortage of many garden 
seeds before the season is over, and we therefore earnestly 
request that you anticipate your needs and send us your or- 
ders just as early as possible. We make a specialty of these 
fill-in orders and will fill them immediately, provided our 
stocks are not exhausted. Small lots can be sent very cheaply 
by parcels post. 
We always maintain the high quality of our seeds and our 
large stocks enable us to make low prices. There is always a 
demand for Barteldes Seeds and the quality of these will please 
your customers. 
If you do not have a copy of our General Catalog please 
write us and we Will send you one promptly. We solicit your 
correspondence and hope you will remember us when you 
need seeds of any kind. 
Very truly yours, 
The Baeteldes Seed Co.
