D URING the last forty-five years, Dibble’s Farm Seeds have established a record for themselves 
on thousands of American farms that is not excelled by those obtainable frojn any other Ameri¬ 
can firm. 
Over a hundred years ago, a good old English farmer founded a seed business based on one thing: 
“The best seeds and the best seeds only at a fair price.” In the hundred years that have elapsed, that 
seed business has grown to be the biggest business of the kind in the United Kingdom. The staid, 
hard-working British farmers appreciated quality. 
In 1891, Edward F. Dibble, a young farmer of the 
Genesee Valley country of western New York, with¬ 
out knowing that there was in existence such a firm 
as the English one mentioned, established a farm-seed 
business with a motto—“Farm Seeds and Farm Seeds 
only, one grade and that the best obtainable, at the 
lowest prices consistent with the highest possible 
quality.” History repeats itself, and in lorty-live years 
our business has developed into the largest strictly 
mail-order farm-seed business on the American conti¬ 
nent. The good, honest, hard-working American 
business farmer also appreciates quality at a fair and 
just price. This Catalog is directed to the business 
farmer, the man who desires to live well, have the 
comforts of the age in which he lives, educate his 
children, travel if he wishes, and have a competence for 
his old age. 
The best farm seeds obtainable are the first essential 
to successful, money-making farming. We furnish this 
quality only, and at as low a price (and frequently lower) 
than inferior seeds of unknown origin would cost you. 
We know farm seeds. A lifetime has been devoted 
to the farm-seed business. We have over a thousand 
acres in the Dibble Seed Farms. We are seedgrowers 
and actually produce, on our own farms, a large part 
of the seeds we sell and “ship from our farms to yours.” 
We try out new or so-called new varieties in field- 
culture, and when we recommend something, we know 
it is good. Members of our corporation travel thou¬ 
sands of miles annually inspecting seeds and seed-crops; 
our inspection is intelligent and thorough, as one of 
our officers is a graduate of Cornell, where for four 
years he specialized in plant-breeding, seed-testing, 
plant pathology, and the like. ^ «

We operate a seed-testing laboratory, where we test 
our farm seeds for purity, germination, etc., every test 
being made by one of our officials, and every bag has 
a tag attached showing the result of our test. We do 
not have to take someone’s “say so” as to quality— 
we do our own testing and WE KNOW. 
Prices are net f.o.b. shipping station. On page 22 
you will find a map showing just how near we are to 
you. If you live within or just over the 300-mile circle, 
you certainly should be one of our customers. Bags 
and sacks free, as stated. 
Terms, strictly cash with order, except on carload 
lots, when a special price will be made you, delivered 
to your station, payable on arrival and inspection of 
goods. 
As prices constantly fluctuate throughout the season, 
we do not print prices in this Catalog but issue special 
Price-Lists giving the very lowest prices prevailing 
at the time. If you are not ready to order when this 
Catalog reaches you, advise us when you are and a 
new Price-List will be sent you. 
Our Guarantee. Dibble’s famous “money-back-if- 
you-want-it” guarantee, subject to any test you want 
to make within ten days after the seeds reach you, is as 
fair and square as any ever given by an American firm. 
And our special guarantee or warranty is printed on 
the respective pages describing our seeds, and our 
various seeds are sold subject to the guarantee so 
printed. We are perfectly reliable and responsible. 
We refer you to the State Bank of Honeoye Falls, N. Y., 
Lincoln Alliance Bank and Trust Co., Rochester, N. Y., 
Dun’s or Bradstreet’s Commercial Agencies, or to any 
of our thousands of satisfied customers, some of whom 
must be in your vicinity.
