MARK MEANS COMPANY, 1934 ANNUAL SEED CATALOG. LEWISTON, IDAHO 
FIELD SEEDS 
ALL FIELD SEED PRICES ARE F. O. B. LEWISTON UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED 
Prices on practically all field seeds are much lower this 
season than for the past several years. However, the first 
price of grass, clover and other field seeds is not the most 
important factor that governs the purchase. Nothing is 
more important to the farmer than that the seed he sows 
should be clean and of high purity and germination, heavy 
plump and matured, so as to insure a good crop. Our 
Lewis-Clark quality seed, while costing a little more in 
the beginning, is really much cheaper in the end than 
grades sold at lower prices. Heavy, plump seed germinates 
better and will produce a greater number of strong plants. 
With our many years of experience in and knowledge of 
the seed business, also our up-to-date cleaning machinery, 
we are in a position to furnish you seeds that will satisfy 
every requirement at a reasonable price. If you are plan¬ 
ning to seed a large acreage, write us and we will gladly 
quote you a quantity price. Samples will also be sent on 
request. 
The surest way of building up your land and assuring 
yourself a good profit is to plant alfalfa, clovers and 
grasses, and raise livestock. Also produce your own vege¬ 
tables and flowers by planting a home garden.

Domestic Rye Grass

creasing in favor with dairymen in this 
district. Those who have used it state that 
it will carry more stock than any other 
grass, and wall increase the milk flow. It is 
a rapid grower, winter hardy and makes a 
quick regrowth after mowing, and remains 
green much longer than other varieties. Can 
be grown successfully on dry, shallow, poor 
soils as well as on the better soils. At the
