ARCH AND FRONT STREETS, PHILADELPHIA, JAN. 17, 1934. 
r* CM CD a i MADI^FT <~nwniTinwc;- Throughout the inactive season values on seed crops have 
GENERAL MARKET CUNDI I IUN^d. he , d firm with eyery indication that growers and holders of 
stocks will not, and perhaps cannot, reduce prices. Compared with conditions of a year ago, there is good reason 
to believe in, and expect, firm and strong prices to prevail on farm seeds during the coming months. 
The market has been continuously 
V Clr\ . s t ron g with advancing tendency 
throughout the fall months, prices today ranging fully $2.00 
per hundred higher than at the beginning of the Crop move¬ 
ment. There is every reason to expect a firm, strong market 
will prevail on this item. 
/\| F"AI ET A • There has not been a year since Alfalfa has 
^* been used widely, that seed of the most 
adaptable origin and of excellent quality has been available at 
such attractive prices. There is no excuse for any farmer in 
this territory sowing Southern grown unadaptable seed. It is 
the fluty of the merchant to provide seed which is best suited 
for our territory. 
Comparatively small Crop together with the 
shut out of Canadian Alsyke (account high 
duty 8c per pound) makes price on this item look firm. 
ALSYKE: 
ACCCTO. The Government has purchased rather 
large quantities of various grass seeds in 
connection with reforestation and reclamation work, which 
would tend to make prices strong and perhaps some scarcity in 
some items may result. Both the market and the quality of 
Kentucky Blue Grass has been improved by the destruction on 
the part of the Government of two hundred thousand bushels 
of old seed previously carried over and, of course, the Govern¬ 
ment buying for above purposes. 
Prices quoted below are today’s values f.o.b. Philadelphia. Samples sent promptly upon request. Bags not returnable. We can supply the 
principal field seeds packed in 1 bu. bags, the packing consisting of high grade material printed in washable ink. Write for details.
