WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE 
Because of convenience to the shopper locations where thousands pass daily command the 
highest of rents. These places are taken by firms having steady year round sale of standardized 
merchandise. However by reason of its very vital ness seed buyers have learned to use more than 
ordinary care in the purchase of seeds upon which the very existance of their livelihood depends. 
For this reason, we find few high priced locations used by seedmen, and planters pay all kinds of 
prices, and go to all kinds of trouble, to be sure to get the seed that will serve them best. 
The seed offered herein have very largely been grown here in the Rocky Ford Irrigated 
District, one of the most nenowned seed production centers of the world. I know of no other sec¬ 
tion where such a large proportion of the farmers produce seed of one sort or another year after 
year. Personally seed production has been my main business now for over 35 years and few people 
have had a more extensive or varied experience. I believe as a result that the varieties I am offer¬ 
ing will prove of exceptional profit to you. In a small community like this I do not think worth 
while to try to handle a large assortment, nor will I even advise the planting of all seed listed as 
locations and altitudes vary. 
IMPORTED SEED. This season, as never before, imported seed of alfalfa and clover is 
being featured by some seedmen. The Department of Agriculture has made a very thoro test of 
improted seed from all lands. As primarily in employ of the planters, they have secured drastic 
regulations concerning the importation of these seeds. One is that all seed imported must have a 
certain proportion of this seed stained. While seed stained purple or green may give fair service 
seed stained red are definitely known to be unsuited to our climate and in most cases give out the 
first Winter that touches them.
