HAYES SEED HOUSE 
TOPEKA, KANSAS 
JANUARY, 1937. 
DEAR FRIENDS: 
Do you know what you will ask yourself time and time again as you look 
through this new 1937 catalogue? 
“How can Hayes sell at such low prices?” 
That’s what you will be wondering — and I won’t blame you for my prices 
are low, considering the drouth through the seed producing sections of the United 
States. 
But friends, I’ll tell you how I can do it, even in a year like this when every¬ 
thing is going up and up. 
Early last summer, before the drouth destroyed so many seed crops, I contract¬ 
ed large quantities of the finest seeds available. I anticipated the present scarcity 
and bought heavily. And now I am giving my customers the benefit of my fortunate 
purchases. 
Look at my prices on fine Beans on page 7. And turn to page 11 and see 
the surprising low prices quoted on Sweet Corn. Take advantage of the Special 
premium offers on the opposite page and one page 26. This whole 1937 catalogue 
is chock full of real seed, plant and bulb bargains and you’ll get the finest seeds 
you ever bought. 
In fact, I guarantee that your order will be satisfactory or you may return it 
and I’ll refund your money. Isn’t that fair enough? 
So go through these pages now and make up your order with the same con¬ 
fidence in me that thousands of others have had for the 38 years I have been in 
the seed business. 
Yours truly, 
HAYES SEED HOUSE.
