Dear Friends and Customers 
In presenting this, our 48th Annual Seed Book, we want to 
express our appreciation to our customers for the confidence they 
have placed in Olds' Seeds these many years. We are proud to say 
we still carry on under the well known slogan-”01ds' Seeds Known 
for Reliability." We stand for high standards and strict honesty 
and integrity in our business and our ambition in writing this seed 
book is that it will prove a true and accurate guide to every seed 
buyer. 
The book is divided into sections; garden seeds appear first, 
vegetables, then flowers. The varieties are arranged as near as 
possible in alphabetical order. Starred varieties are specially 
recommended for general culture and where our trade mark appears, 
we have been instrumental in introducing that variety. These are 
followed by pages of bulbs, plants, and trees, and then come field 
seeds, tools, fertilizers, insecticides, poultry supplies, eto. 
Field Seed prices hold until Feb. 15, 1935 only, after that • 
date write for our weekly price list. Prices on garden seeds and 
all other items with a few exceptions will stand for the season. 
Due to the drouth, many crops are short this year, and we advise you 
to order early to be sure to get the varieties you want. 
V,'e appreciate your splendid cooperation in the past and hope 
that we may again be permitted to serve you. 
Wishing you a really prosperous year for 1935, we remain. 
Yours very truly, 
L. L. OLDS SEED COMPANY
