Your Order Is Absolutely Safe 
We are a well established Arm and have been in busi¬ 
ness in the same location for over sixteen years. We 
use the government mails to sell our seeds and therefore 
make our statements true. Our methods are subject to 
state and U. S. Government investigation. Our future 
development depends entirely on how well we please 
you. All seed is sold on a guaranteed basis, see below. 
You will find our bank references in the opposite column. 
We serve over 100,000 farmers. We are. specialists in 
farm seeds as we handle no other seeds. Years of 
experience, thousands of satisfied customers, strong 
financially and liberal guarantee all protect your 
interests. 
We sell on a wholesale basis and save you 
money. Why buy at retail ?, Why. buy 
from agents who often make 
statements that the house won’t 
back up? Buy direct and save 
money. The savings are unusu¬ 
ally large in our great Star 
Bargain Sale. 
Nothing Is Left to Chance 
We have banished the days of 
gudsswork in seeds. Even the 
best seedsmen get fooled on quality. There is 
ohl;y one safe, sure way and that is a scientific 
analysis of every lot of seed. Expert help and deli¬ 
cate instruments are needed. It requires painstaking 
cafe but it tells you what you really want to know. 
Every one of our lots of seed are analyzed and tested. We 
want to know what the seed is like and what it will do. We 
know it will grow and, therefore we guarantee it to be good seed 
that will grow. If it will not grow it is not shipped. 
You, too, get this information when you buy from us. Every 
bag is tagged acedrding to law. The tag tells the story. It will 
Satisfy you. If it doesn’t you can return it and get your money 
back. 
Good Seeds Made Better 
Our buyers scout the. country for seeds. They are instructed to 
buy good seeds. They pass up poor lots to other buyers. Our clean¬ 
ing plant is well equipped with modern machinery. We can do 
cleaning jobs that many seedsmen have no equipment for. But at 
that we want good seeds to start with. 
Even good seeds as they come from the grower need a lot of 
working over before they really become high quality seeds. The 
use of country cleaned or improperly graded seeds is one of the 
chief causes for the spread of weeds. While all weeds are not 
of a dangerous nature they should in so far as possible be removed. 
We have been offered clover seeds that contained almost half fox 
tail. W6 do not buy it, yet farmers sell such seeds to neighbors 
for jupt a little lass than yow can buy fine recleaned seed for from 
us. It is always economy to buy well cleaned seed. We buy good 
seeds and then make them better and you will profit by using 
such seed. 
Good Supplies on Hand 
We know that.the extremely low prices we have in this Star Bar¬ 
gain catalog are going to bring' us a tremendous trade. Our pur¬ 
chases have been extensive on the low markets. Now that some 
advances have taken place it is no longer possible to buy to as good 
advantage. You can be assured however of having your order filled 
^ the prices shown in this book providing you order in ample time. 
Do not wait till you need the seed and then ex¬ 
pect to gel; the cheapest priced seed. Protect 
yourself by buying as early as you possibly can. 
Our Seed All Hardy Type 
Tou will find all of our seed extra winter 
hardy. We do not sell imported clovers. We do 
not sell clover from western Oregon or other 
sections which produce seed lacking iS Winter
