NATION-WIDE SHORTAGE 
OF FIELD SEEDS MAKES 
PROMPT COVERAGE OF 
YOUR SEED REQUIRE¬ 
MENTS FOR 1935 SPRING 
PLANTING OF PRIME 
IMPORTANCE 
# anticipating this condition we have 
secured adequate stocks of most ma¬ 
jor crop seeds and will maintain our 
usual high standard of quality as long 
as our stocks hold out 
The task of providing adequate stocks of high quality 
seeds, adapted to the requirements of our large and ever 
growing group of customers, in a year like 1934, when such 
an unprecedented drought enveloped practically the whole 
seed producing area, was one of great magnitude. We have 
again measured up to the needs of the hour, and if our many 
customers will get their orders in to us early, we will be 
able to render them the usual Disco service. At the time 
of this writing, (December 8th) many of our customers have 
already booked their requirements, and by making a down 
payment of 3314% have been protected and their seeds laid 
aside for them. They are “sitting pretty.” Our advice is 
get in with them as soon as possible. Better to be sure 
than sorry.
