LOWER PRICES 
FOR 
1936 
Contrary to the upward trend of prices on other com¬ 
modities, Olds’ seeds are priced much lower than a year 
ago and on many items the lowest in years. Growing 
conditions were ideal and most crops were very fine. You 
should not buy seeds of unknown origin or from houses 
without a dependable reputation, when you can buy Olds’ 
reliable seeds at such low prices. 
For 49 years the Olds’ Seed Company has maintained 
the confidence of their customers with their high standards 
and strict honesty and integrity in their business. Our 
seed book tells the truth and we trust it will be an accurate 
guide to every seed buyer. 
The book is divided into sections in the order named—- 
new varieties, garden seeds, flower seeds, bulbs, plants, 
nursery stock, field seeds, and side lines. Varieties are 
arranged as nearly as possible in alphabetical order. 
The prices quoted will remain the same throughout the 
season on all items with the exception of field seeds. 
After February 15, 1936, field seed prices will be subject 
to change. Ask for a weekly price list after that date. 
Prices are likely to advance by seeding time and our ad¬ 
vice is to order early. Customers who send us their orders 
early are entitled to premiums shown on the premium 
page. We also include a trial packet of seeds with all 
orders for garden and flower seeds, regardless of size. 
Above is our home here at Madison. We use not only 
this entire building, four floors and basement, but store 
many carloads of seed in public storage here in Madison.
