Schell’s Quality Seeds Again Win a Great Prize for One Who Planted Them! Read this very interesting letter from Mr. Jay 
Lawrence, Manager of Bonadel Farms, Ohio, September 5, 1935: “Dear Sir: It might interest you to learn that our exhibit at 
the 1935 Ohio State Fair was awarded the Royal Championship Banner, and the vegetables shown were practically all grown 
from your seeds. This means considerable, too, from the fact that Ohio is recognized as having the hardest show in the United 
States. We have won this coveted prize 17 times in the past 20 years’ competition.” Thank you, Mr. Lawrence, and congratu¬ 
lations! You have made a wonderful record. (Above is the picture of his exhibit.) 
SCHELL’S 
Quality Seeds 
for1936Are Now Ready for You 
‘‘I do not prize the word ‘cheap.’ It is not a word of 
hope, nor a word of cheer. It is not a word of inspiration. 
It is the badge of poverty, the signal of distress. Cheap 
merchandise means cheap men and cheap men a cheap 
country. William McKinley 
(Former President, United States) 
How true that is of Seeds also. Cheap seeds mean cheap 
crops, and cheap crops are the badge of poverty, the signal 
of distress on every farm where they are sown. 
Be sure of success—ALWAYS plant Schell’s Quality 
Seeds. They Grow Better—They Yield Better.
