We Test to Know 
The seed business is our only 
business, not a side line. We 
must ship good seed to our 
customers or our business will 
fail. We can’t afford to guess 
at the quality of our seeds. We 
It will pay you to fully understand that our scientifically recleaned and specially 
processed seed is distinctly a superior product. When some dealers talk about 
recleaned seed they mean it has been run over a fanning mill with a couple of 
screens in it. That will help, of course, but much greater care and attention 
i must be given to the average seed to make it desirable to sow. 
■ In our cleaning plants we have some machines that are used just to get one par¬ 
ticular kind of weed seed./Our equipment is modern, efficient, and we can do clean¬ 
ing and special processing that is absolutely impossible for the average concern. 
You could afford to pay us a premium for such seed and still have much more 
economical ;and satisfactory seed. We do not charge you a premium, however, but 
give_ you scientifically recleaned seed at prices that are lower than many are asking 
for inferior quality. Judge seed by quality. Quality makes the value and our low 
prices make unbeatable bargains.

one hundredth of one per cent.

purity or weak germination. Who¬

excellent bargain. Every ship¬ 
ment we make has a tag on it
