As a further protection 
to buyers, we have adopt¬ 
ed a brand for our alfalfa 
seed—and we have repro¬ 
duced above the bag and 
label with which the bag 
is sealed. It is the utmost 
protection we can offer 
you—and represents the 
policy upon which our 
business was founded— 
“Honest Representation.” 
You take no 
risk in buy¬

• every lot of seed we sell is tested 
for quality and germination 
Seed testing for vigor, and germ¬ 
ination are all-important. They in. 
dicate to a certainty what the buy¬ 
er can expect from the seed. That’s 
why we are so thorough and use 
the best known methods for testing 
every lot of seed. You can abso¬ 
lutely depend on every grade we 
offer as being exactly what we rep¬ 
resent. As an example, read what 
Mr. J. W. Scrape, of Blytheville, 
Arkansas, recently wrote us: 
“Dear Sirs: I do not want any 
samples. What seed I bought of 
you proved to be extra good. Would 
like to have your price list. Will 
show it to the neighbors as they 
want some seed.”
