Your Order Is Absolutely Safe 
We are a well established firm and have boon in busi¬ 
ness in the same location for over nineteen years. We 
use the government mails to sell our seeds and therefore 
make our statements true. Our methods are subject to 
state and U. S. Government investigation. Our future 
development depends entirely on how well we please 
you. All seed is sold on a guaranteed basis, see below. 
You will find our bank references in the opposite column. 
We serve over 100,000 farmers. We are specialists in 
farm seeds as we handle no other seeds. Years of 
experience, thousands of satisfied customers, strong 
and liberal guarantee all protect your 
We sell on a wholesale basis and save you 
money. Why buy at retail? Why buy 
r from agents who often make 
statements that the house won’t 
back up? Buy direct and save 
money. The savings are unusu¬ 
ally large in our great Star 
Bargain Sale. 
less our seeds grow and give sat- ^ 
isfactory performance. We cannot afford to 
guess therefore we test for purity and germi-^ 
nation. Thus we secure information which enables 
us to know whether the seed has the ability to produce 
satisfactory stands. 
Consider how much more satisfactory it is to buy seed of 
predetermined quality than to choose stocks whose quality is 
guessed at. You of course have the privilege of having your 
seed retested by State or U. S. Government Agencies. We want 
you to be completely satisfied that you have received full value 
and saved money. 
Why Our Prices Are Low 
There are several reasons for our unusually attractive prices. 
We handle a large volume of seed. Sellers cater to us and make 
lower prices to get our business. Our operating expenses are 
kept down. We employ no salesmen and do not lose money on 
book accounts. 
Our aim is to get a large volume of business by selling at 
lowest prices. A ten percent profit on $3.00 worth of orders 
looks better to us than 20% on $1.00. This makes our busi¬ 
ness grow because our customers are better satisfied. 
Market Conditions 
In many lines seed supplies are short of normal. Better 
moisture and financial conditions are creating an increased 
demand for seed. These factors combine to strengthen markets. 
Red Clover, Alsike, Alfalfa, Sweet Clover, Timothy and most 
all grasses have stronger markets. Further advances are cer¬ 
tainly in prospect. I advise all who need seed to buy early. I 
am sure you will save money by doing so. 
Our Seed All Hardy Type 
You will find all of our seed extra winter 
hardy. We do not sell imported clovers. We do 
not sell clover from western Oregon or other 
sections which produce seed lacking in winter
