SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO AGENTS. 
O UR business extends from Upper Canada on the north to the Gulf of Mexico on the South, and 
while our different varieties of Potatoes, Oats, Barley, etc. are equally as well adapted for grow- 
ing- in one section as another, OUR CORN IS NOT. Varieties of corn which are perfectly 
adapted to growing in one section should not be sold and will not give satisfaction in another. We 
give the following general instructions as to 
What Corn You Should Sell: 
If the growing season in your locality has a period of 120 days without frost, sell the Eldorado, 
Gold King or Silver King. All of them are unusually rank growers and hills should be four feet apart 
each way in order to obtain large and well-filled ears. 
The Monroe Eight Rowed Flint and Wisconsin Dent may be sold in any latitude where ordinary 
varieties of corn can be grown. 
Wherever the seasons will permit of the late maturing varieties being used, always get your 
customers to order the late sorts. In almost nine cases out of ten you will find the longer a crop 
stands on the land before maturing the better the yield. This will apply equally as well in the case 
of potatoes, oats and other seeds. We want to give our customers the best of satisfaction and hope 
in selling corn you will follow closely the rules as given above. It is to your interest as well as to 
our own, for we want you to sell in seasons to come, on the same ground, with increased sales.

In addition to our full line of Farm Seeds for Spring Delivery, described in the foregoing pages, 
we also handle Winter Wheat and Rye for Fall delivery, for which we issue separate catalogues, 
circulars, order blanks, etc., in other words what is known as out Wheat outfit, the orders being 
taken for delivery in August or September. This Wheat outfit will be sent you upon request and 
orders for Winter Wheat and Rye for Fall Delivery can be taken at the same time you are taking 
orders for other seeds for Spring Delivery. 
We give a Few Reports form Our Wheat which have just come to Hand. 
$10.00 worth from one-half Bushel. 
The wheat I sold last fall is more than meeting expectations. Last week I offered one man $10 
for the standing crop from one-half bushel I sold him, and the chickens had eaten up at least a quarter 
of that, but he would not accept my offer. He said he wished he had bought enough to sow ten acres, 
and all the others who bought of you report about the same way. S. B. SHORE, Boone Co., Ind. 
The old Varieties are Full of Weevil, but no Weevil 
in the New Varieties. 
“Enclosed find my report amounting to $56.00 worth of wheat orders. I have seen every piece 
of wheat grown from the seed which I sold last year and I tell you I was much surprised to see such 
awful big heads. The farmers were more than pleased with it and say they wish they had bought 
more seed. Several of these orders are from parties who bought last year. ALL THE OLD VAR- 
IETIES OF WHEAT ARE FULL OF WEEVIL, BUT THERE IS NO WEEVIL IN YOUR 
WHEAT. I saw Mr. A. Rogers, who bought a bushel last year, and asked him if he would have any 
to sell this year and he said ‘No Sir !’ and that he wished he had bought $10.00 worth instead of 
$5.00 worth. Other farmers tell the same story. Oh ! such heads, they say, as your wheat has and

N. B. — Unprincipled parties have imposed upon the public by off- 
ering spurious seed in our name. In order to protect our customers 
and ourselves we have adopted a Trade Mark as seen hereon. All per- 
sons are warned hereby that every package of Genuine Seed from our 
Seed Farms will bear a tag with our trade mark. Under .no circum- 
stances should goods be accepted without this evidence of genuineness.
