SEEDING TIME IS AIM OS T HERE PLEASE READ THIS LETTER 
WE Are At Your Service... 
Dear Custer, FRIENDLY SERVICE ! 
The season is moving rapidly to the time for seeding spring crops* Our 1937 ciroular 
on Hybrid Com and Farm Seed has been delayed in preparation. A copy will be sent you 
in ten days or two weeks just as soon as they are ready* 
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TODAY * S PRICES 
At any rate, we want you to have our prioe list at once in order that you may take 
advantage of today’s prices* We feel this is vital, for seed markets are firm and 
likely to advance as seeding time approaches# We are not alarmists# We have studied 
the situation carefully* We may be wrong but it is our sincere belief that, with the 
existing shortage of good seed stocks, prices may advance somewhat as the increased 
demand of seeding time comes along* 
CLEAN SEED ** GOOD GERMINATION ** WORTH THE MONEY 
Stocks of good seed are short* Our seed is high purity, strong germination, in fact, 
we have the same sort of seed for you that we use on the FUNK FARMS* How long our 
supplies will last or how long we can maintain these prices is a matter where your 
guess is as good as ours* We have expressed our opinion# 
BEWARE OF BARGAIN SEED ** YOU GET ABOUT WHAT YOU PAY FOR 
There has been considerable publicity lately about seeds offered at bargain prices# 
Our Illinois State Seed Laboratory informs us that this kind of seed is usually of 
very inferior quality and often contains noxious weed seed in amounts that render it 
unsalable under the Illinois Law. SELECT YOUR SEEDSMAN WITH THE SAME CARE AND 
JUDGMENT YOU WOULD USE IN SELECTING YOUR FAMILY DOCTOR OR YOUR LAWYER. 
HYBRID SEED CORN ** RESERVE YOURS NOW FOR 1938 
Hybrid Seed Com for use in 1937 is at the vanishing point* We hope our old customers 
have the seed they will require* In order to avoid being disappointed for 1938, we 
suggest you reserve your requirements now. Reservation is explained in detail on the 
back side of the enclosed prioe list. For 1938 we will have the high yielding strains 
you will want* The word hybrid attached to seed oorn may mean little or much these 
days* It is the quality put 'into the hybridizing that counts* Such quality as you 
want can only be put there by the man who knows how* 
ORDER EARLY ** GET GOOD SEED ** AVOID THE RUSH 
The enclosed price list is particularly for our old customers* As said above, our 
1937 circular will be delayed for a couple of weeks* With this price list you have 
the Vital Information* Questions you may have or detailed information you may require 
will be supplied by Teturn mail# 
Sincerely yours. 
FUNK BROS* SEED CO.
