• shortage of major 
crop field seeds makes 
early buying the only 
safe course this Spring 
As this is written, late in December, 1934, the 
available supply of major crop field seeds is less than 
we have known in many years—on account of the 
drought which covered such a wide area during the 
growing season earlier in the year. Some seeds are 
already at a premium and will probably advance 
steadily as available stocks are reduced. We urge 
every farmer who wants to be sure of good seed for 
spring to place his order at once. Our stocks on 
most seeds will supply early demand, but we expect 
to be sold out of best grades early.

# I buy seeds 
We enjoy na l ion-wide 
patronage • from both 
large and small planters 
—and spend most of 
my time among our 
growers. In this way 
we can keep in close 
touch with conditions 
at all times and main¬ 
tain our quality stan¬ 
dards from first hand 
knowledge. 
In a 
in this 
recent check of last spring’s orders, we find shipments to every state 
great country of ours—so in claiming a nation-wide following among 
planters, we are simply stating the facts. Naturally, it is gratifying 
to us to be of service to farmers over such a vast territory—but of 
more importance is the fact that it should impress you with the 
values we deliver in the seed bag—or such a wide distribution could 
never have been built up. We invite you to depend on us—this year— 
when we can save you real money—for at least a part of your seed 
requirements.

savings we offer. 
You know good seed when you see

anything you are interested in if you’ll 
write us. Many of our best customers 
made our acquaintance in this way— 
and seeing for themselves the high 
standard of quality we deliver, depend 
on us for all their seeds.

Don’t delay—make your plans now 
We cannot emphasize too strongly our advice to buy 
early this year. The seed shortage is very apparent 
on all sides—specuators will doubtless hold much of 
the limited stocks for last minute buyers and exact 
prices that will pay them well for their speculation. 
The way to avoid being the victim of such rackets is 
to buy early—from reliable seed houses—and this 
means completing your planting program at once
