SEED SHORTACE. The past growing season was an unusual one, due to drought, hail and insect 
damage some crops have turned out extremely short and in some cases were complete failures. 
Due to this condition we urge you to cover your needs early to avoid disappointment. 
When our stocks are exhausted we do not replenish them with doubtful unknown stocks, as 
it has always been our aim to supply only the best seeds that can be produced. 
RELIEF ORDERS for vegetable seed only will be accepted by us at prices named in this catalogue 
when issued on printed forms signed with a guarantee of prompt payment by authorized Relief 
Agents, State, County or City.
