Why You Should Buy Our Seeds 
ECAUSE they will make money for you by increasing 
your yields. The varieties we offer are the result of 
careful breeding and selecting and will greatly out-yield 
the sorts in common cultivation. 
WE ARE SPECIALISTS 
We have devoted over a score of years exclusively to the 
breeding up of special strains of seeds. 
YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO GROW POOR CROPS 
especially in these times of great scarcity and high prices 
of farm labor. The only way to get maximum yields is to 
get the best seed obtainable and then give it good soil and 
cultivation. 
POOR SEED WILL PRODUCE POOR CROPS, YOU 
CAN’T AFFORD TO USE POOR SEED. 
The few extra dollars spent for our pedigreed seed is 
insignificant compared to harvesting an increased yield on 
several acres. Give this matter your careful consideration. 
Every extra dollar you spend for our seed will be returned 
to you many times over. 
WHAT CORN YOU SHOULD SELL 
While our different varieties of Potatoes, Oats, Barley, 
etc., are equally well adapted for growing in one section 
as another, OUR CORN IS NOT. Varieties of corn 
which arc perfectly adapted for growing in one section 
should not be sold, and will not give satisfaction in an- 
other. We give the following general instructions: 
The Abundance is adapted to central Ohio, Indiana, and 
Illinois or places having similar climate. 
Early Rochester may be sold in all localities where any 
variety of extra early Dent Corn can be raised. 
Genesee Giant can be grown in Michigan, Wisconsin 
and places of similar climate where ordinary varieties of 
Flint Corn can be grown. 
GARDEN SEEDS 
In addition to our full line of Farm Seeds we have a 
complete assortment of Flower and Vegetable Seeds, for 
which we issue special Order Blanks, etc. As this class 
of Seed must be shipped earlier than the Field Seeds the 
two lines must be kept entirely separate. All orders for 
Farm Seeds must be taken on Farm Seed Order Blanks. 
All orders for Garden Seeds must be taken on Garden Seed 
Order Blanks — Mixed orders for Farm and Garden Seeds 
taken on the same blank will not be accepted. 
Owing to present Custom Regulations we cannot sell 
Garden Seeds in Canada. 
The following photographic views show how the onion seed is 
harvested, cured, cleaned, etc. 
Tompkins Co., N. Y. “The enclosed 
photograph (of my own field) was 
taken last year, they were grown from 
your seed and went 5 bu. to the square 
rod or 800 bu. to the acre.” 
O. H. Hendrickson. 
View No. 1. This shows how the onion seed-tops 
are gathered and spread on large sheets of canvass 
to dry before they can be threshed. 
Steuben Co.. Ind. “One man who 
raised onions from your seed, was the 
first to put them in storage and today 
his are the most solid . and the best 
keepers in storage.” 
J. W. Morrison.
