“KNOWN FOR RELIABILITY” 
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING FIELD SEEDS 
Make out your order on the order blank found in the 
back of this book. Be sure to fill in your name and ad¬ 
dress plainly and give us the name of your shipping sta¬ 
tion as well as the county. If your station is a prepaid 
station, be sure to note this on your order and send pro¬ 
per remittance for the freight. 
Prices quoted on field seeds are good until February 
15th. After that date prices are subject to change so 
write for our weekly price lists which we will be glad 
to send you. All prices are f. o. b. Madison. Goods will 
be shipped by freight or express whichever way you mark 
on your order. Small lots can usually be sent cheaper 
by parcel post and if you want field seeds sent by parcel 
post, be sure to include postage. For proper postage, 
consult the table at the bottom of this page. Unless post¬ 
age is included, we will ship by freight or express which¬ 
ever is the cheapest, purchaser paying the charges at desti¬ 
nation. 
We furnish containers for all field seeds, sacks or bags 
whichever is required on your order. We have an accumu¬ 
lation of used bags which we use for these orders. If you 
desire new bags, add 30c for each bag needed. 
Order your seeds early. Field seed prices are very 
reasonable at this time and as seeding time arrives, prices 
are likely to advance. Our advice is to order early while 
stocks are available and prices are low. 
OLDS’ FANCY ALFALFA SEED 
(Sow 15 to 20 lbs. to the acre.) 
IIShhI 
HARDY WISCONSIN ALFALFA 
A fine field of Alfalfa on a Wisconsin farm 
Seed is again short. The last Government report esti¬ 
mates 48,000,000 pounds against 50,000,000 last year and 
61,500,000 in 1933. Prices now are low. Order early. 
Alfalfa is again the leader in the entire list of Agricul¬ 
tural Seeds. Because of its outstanding performance as 
the most valuable of all hay crops, farmers will sow more 
the coming spring than ever before. 
VERIFIED ORIGIN and STATE CERTIFIED. All the 
Alfalfa seed we send out this year will be either “Veri¬ 
fied Origin Seed” or “State Sealed and Certified.” “Veri¬ 
fied Origin” means that a U. S. Government tag will ap¬ 
pear on every bag verifying the statement as to the locality 
where the seed was grown. 
We handle but one grade of each of the Common Alfalfas, 
the best, or “Old Gold Brand” quality. 
All alfalfa seed is put up in bu. sacks. 
HAUDY DAKOTA ALFALFA. 
Hardy Dakota is a leader with us in Common Alfalfa. 
We have a splendid stock of beautiful pure seed, all U. S. 
Verified Origin Seed, from the Black Hills region of 
western South Dakota. It is all dry land seed. The un¬ 
usual hardiness of our Black Hills Dakota No. 12 seed is 
no doubt largely due to the fact that it is produced on dry 
soil where climate conditions are very severe. 
Prices—By freight: y 2 pk., $1.80; pk., $3.40; bu., (60 
lbs.), $13.20; 2 bus. at $13.05; 5 bus. at $12.90. 60-pound 
sacks free. Dakota is all in 60s. 
We have a fine stock of Genuine Wisconsin Grown Al¬ 
falfa Seed, State Verified, mostly, if not all, from Grimm 
seed, although we do not offer it as Grimm. This seed 
is thoroughly acclimated. Considered by many the most 
valuable Alfalfa for sowing in Wisconsin. There was no 
crop of alfalfa seed harvested in 1935. What we have to 
offer is 1934 crop seed. 
Prices—By freight: V 2 pk., $1.90; pk., $3.55; bu., 
$13.80; 2 bus. at $13.65; 5 bus. at $13.50. Sacks free.
