Isbell’s Seeds 7 
QUALITY SEEDS 
AT LOWEST PRICES 
For nearly 60 years we have been working to produce 
better seeds at lowest cost. To do this we have constantly 
improved our methods and equipment for growing and hand' 
ling seeds, while at the same time the volume has been steadily 
increased. Large scale production, modern equipment, effi- 
cient handling methods mean a better product at a lower cost. 
This saving is passed on to our customers in lower prices for 
our seeds. 
Isbell’s Capacity for Seed Production 
We grow every year over 6000 acres of seed crops, mostly in Michi¬ 
gan and Idaho. All of these crops are grown under our own super¬ 
vision and from our own specially selected planting stocks. All are 
carefully inspected and any plants not true to type are removed from 
the growing crops. This seed is conditioned in our own 
warehouses by experienced workmen. 
Isbell’s Seeds are Twice Tested 
All seeds are tested for germination as soon as har¬ 
vested in our electric tester, which duplicates natural 
conditions. In addition all stocks are tested for purity 
and trueness to type on our extensive Trial Grounds 
which are maintained solely for testing purposes. Along 
with our stocks we plant seed from other concerns as 
check tests. Year after year the results show that our 
stocks are of the best types obtainable. 
Quality Maintained Regardless 
! The past few years it has been necessary to econo¬ 
mize in every way possible but we have not lessened 
our efforts to maintain and improve the quality of our 
seeds. We have used the same care in selecting our 
planting stocks, the number of our Trial Grounds tests 
has not been cut down, and all of our experienced help 
have been steadily employed. 
Special Gift Offers To Our Customers 
To express our appreciation we are including, this year, absolutely free with each order for $1.00 or over, 
some choice new flower seeds of the finest sorts and with orders of $2.50 or more one dozen bulbs of hand¬ 
some, large flowering Gladiolus in a brilliant assortment of colors. We will consider it a special favor to have 
your orders as early as possible. 
One of our buildings at Jackson contain¬ 
ing cleaning machinery unsurpassed any¬ 
where. These buildings, with our new 
branch warehouse at Twin Falls, Idaho, 
have a combined capacity of 250 carloads 
of seeds. 
Isbell’s Prices are Low 
Prices of Isbell’s Northern Grown Seeds are low when 
quality is considered. Bell Brand Seeds are carefully grown 
and handled economically, but are not produced with low 
price as the main objective. Quality comes first and the 
price is made as low as possible and allow us to maintain 
the high standard we have established. Because we grow 
seeds so extensively, we are able to give better value than 
concerns which are dealers only. 
Large Growers Use Isbell’s Seeds 
Enormous quantities of our seeds are used every year by 
market growers who must have seeds of proven depend¬ 
ability. We issue a Special Wholesale Price List for Market 
Gardeners. Every commercial grower should send for it. 
We also have a Current Price List of field seeds. 
As there are so many other vital factors, beside the seed, 
which enter into the production of any crop, it is impos¬ 
sible for any concern to guarantee a crop, regardless of how 
good the seed is. Because of this fact, in common with all 
reputable seed houses, our seeds are sold subject to the 
disclaimer adopted by the American Seed Trade Associa¬ 
tion as follows. “We do not give any warranty, express or 
implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any 
other matter of any seeds we sell, and we will not be re¬ 
sponsible for the crop.”
