AN OFFICIAL WARNING: Under date of December 6, Dr. E. M. Gress, Chief Botanist, Pennsylvania Department of Agricul¬ 
ture, issued a warning to three thousand seed dealers, as well as farm buyers, to beware of tempting 
offers of seed bargains from out-of-State dealers. 
We are now at the season of the year when certain types of mail order houses blossom forth with advertisements of wonderful “bargains" in 
farm seeds. Thousands of farmers are now considering these offers. You should call the following facts to their attention. 
1. The State Laws cannot protect the farmer who buys in this manner, because the State inspectors have no way of inspecting the seed when 
it is delivered to the farmer. Even though it has been common knowledge that rank violations occur constantly, the practice continues and 
will probably remain a menace until the farmers thoroughly understand the evils attending much of this mail order business. 
2. The State Department of Agriculture wishes to have the opportunity of testing samples of seed delivered by such houses. 
3. Dealers who buy from such sources will be held responsible and are liable to a fine not to exceed $200.00. 
Dealers will serve their own interests as well as render real service to the farmers by calling this warning to their attention. Please remember 
that it is the practice of these distant mail order houses to try to sell the farmer very early in the season. We therefore urge the booking of 
farmers’ orders as early as possible. 
Prices quoted below are today’s values f.o.b. Philadelphia. Samples sent promptly upon request. Bags not returnable. We can supply the principal 
field seeds packed in 1 bu. bags, the packing consisting of high grade material printed in washable ink. Write for details.
