PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH 
This old English saying is hundreds of years old, 
but is as true today as it always has been. It applies 
particularly to those who buy their seeds on a price 
basis, forgetting that though he may save a few cents 
in the purchase price, he will probably lose many dol¬ 
lars in the value of the crop produced. 
For more than half a century we have built up a 
reputation for good seeds and good service. One of 
our good friends writes: “The name T. W. Wood & 
Sons in our county means the same in seeds that ster¬ 
ling means on silver.” Such a reputation is priceless, 
and we intend to protect it by supplying only seeds 
that will grow; and not only grow, but will yield a 
product that will be a credit to both you and us. 
As in the past, we will continue to supply good seeds 
at a reasonable price, not only because it is the fair 
thing to do, but because we want to hold and merit 
your confidence. When you intrust your orders to us 
we promise a “square deal,” good seeds and good 
service. 
Wood’s Crop Special, issued regularly during the 
planting season, gives timely suggestions about what and 
when to plant, and quotes current prices of field seeds. 
Write for it—it is free and we want you to have it. 
We cordially thank our many friends for the splendid 
business with which they have favored us. We hope you 
will continue to favor us, and on our part promise prompt 
attention, fair treatment and seeds that will grow. 
Very truly yours, 
January 1, 1936. T. W. WOOD & SONS.

Wood’s Seeds Are Tested and w ? 1 V ow t , hat they will 
grow before they are sent 
out. Even then they occasionally do not come up, due to causes 
over which we have no control, such as covering too deeply 
or not deeply enough; too little or too much moisture; cold 
weather, insects, or a crust through which the sprouts cannot 
penetrate, etc.; therefore, T. W. Wood & Sons give not war¬ 
ranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, produc¬ 
tiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants 
they send out, and will not be in any way responsible for the 
crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these 
terms, they are at once to be returned and the amount paid 
for them will be refunded. 
We offer you the best seeds because it is fair thing to do and 
because we want to stay in business and grow. But we can¬ 
not control planting and cultural methods and weather and 
soil conditions, all of which affect the outturn of crops.
