FRIENDS 
Our one object in the compiling^f_the_next few page s, attributed 
to Field Seeds, is the placin^gTefore the general public and to the farmers 
in particular, the essentials so necessa ry to the successful tillage of Mother 
Earth, namely: a list of grains and grasses, tested graded and cleaned 
until thev havej;eached their highest mark of perfection an d are_in__every 
way fit to^Ftle with the most adverse conditi ons. 
COMMON 
SEEDS, like humans, are full of life, some vigorous, 
with 
growing. 
SENSE 
some frail, but the developement that seeds attain — 
like human life-depends first upon the origination and then upon the conditions and the manner in which 
they are cultured. We with our twenty-five years of experience in the seed business have given a most 
careful study to the vitality and quality of seeds. We understand thoroughly every merit connected 
the different varieties, their every fault, and have completely mastered every principle ot s< 
cleaning and grading. . . r _> 
The basic value ot your seed stock in proctinng your supply for the season s planting 
cannot be over estimated. , „ ... , 
The best is never too good and we would advise every planter to carefully examine his supply, 
thereby avoiding keen dissappointment and po3sible crop failure. 
A WORD TO THE WISE 
The drought during the past season has damaged all crops to some extent. This is especially true 
of c'over, grasses and all small grains. The continued dry spell literally burnt them up, they would not 
mature properly, the seed is inferior and if care is not exercised in your seed selections for next season it 
will mean a loss of thousauds and thousands of dollars throughout the country. We invite your close 
inspection of the next few pages, they are interesting, full of information; we are stating plain tacts brietly, 
and our prices are as low as can be consistantly made on the quality ot fe ed we handle . 
TOOTING OUR OWN HORN 
Why shouldn't we? We have every advantage; location, experience and facilities. Our field 
seeds are Northern Grown, and whats more, they are grown directly under our own supervision. 
Northern Grown means everything to a planter; it means earliness, hardine^ss, and in case ot drou^^it what is 
better able to withstand the conditions than Northern Grown Seeds? We have installed, th-^ 
at our warehouse, two of the finest seed cleaning mills in the country, each capable ot cleaning I ,l)OU bush- 
els of grain daily, and at the present time we are carefully selectin g and cleaning our next season s supply.

DIRECT FROM THE HEAD 
Direct From Mr. May After a Careful Inspection of the Supply. Heartily ^^h'^""!;^ 
I have carefully inspected the seed stock for the coming season, and can ruthtully st..te that never vvere we in 
a better condition to co-operate w„h the farmers. Our Corn, Grasses and small grains look " '/^'^''yj""^/ 
have been very fortunate this year, due partly to the extra care exercised in the c.lture and to the f^ne >ork done by 
our new cleaning mills. I heartily endorse my recommendation upon any of the varieties that are listed in the 
next few pages. 
Yours truly,
