ISBELL’S 1937 
fyansn, and Qanjd&n Pna&p&utu, 2hsUoe 
Farm and produce prices have climbed out of the cellar, have come 
from loss to profit, and will continue to climb. 1937 is the first season 
in many years when farmers and gardeners have a real chance to re' 
coup depression losses, to get the farms and gardens back in top notch 
shape, and to put real money in the bank. 
1937 is the year when good growers need to replenish depleted seed 
supplies, to replace older, less productive and poor quality varieties 
with new, heavy yielding, high quality sorts. The biggest profits can' 
not be secured without the finest seeds. 
58 Years of Seed Growing Experience Bring More 
Profitable Varieties for this Prosperity Year—and a 
Special Plan of Cooperation with Growers 
To meet the needs and demands of farmers and gardeners, for top 
prices, quality crops, Isbelbs have organized a cooperative farmer' 
gardener prosperity plan—a plan which concentrates the results of 58 
years of seed growing experience. 
All that has been learned in three generations of scientific seed 
growing, selection and plant breeding, is placed at the disposal of our 
customers. Better varieties that bring better prices. Heavy yielding, 
drought' and disease'resisting strains—all are priced to make it possible 
for growers to build up their grain, potato and vegetable yields just as 
they build up milk or beef production with better producing cattle. 
Examples of what Isbell’s good seeds can do for the market gardener 
in 1937 apply even more powerfully to diversified farming, for we have 
been a leader in farm seeds as long as the oldest active farmer can 
remember. 
How greatly seed can affect the crop returns to the farmer is shown 
by Isbell’s New Polar Yellow Dent Corn. 
More Profit Per Acre is What You Want 
Not more acres and more work, with small yields or returns. A bushel 
of seed corn will plant seven acres. Ordinary seed corn of good germin' 
ation costs from $2.50 to $3.00 per bushel. Selected and thoroughbred 
seed costs, say $4.50 to $5.00 per bushel. The difference in cost is sur' 
prisingly small; only 25c to 3 5c for one acre. Whereas the good seed 
will produce at least 10 bushels MORE per acre of GOOD corn. 
Isbell's Polar Yellow Dent Corn 
Very Hardy — Will Withstand Freezes 
It is an experiment station development, the result of a lifetime of 
work to develop a hardy, heavy yielding Corn and a Corn that would 
pack into a short growing season as much food and dollar value as can 
be had in the northern climate. High prices for hogs and beef will make 
Polar Dent a top notch investment. 
This is what we mean by getting better crops through 
using Isbell's better seeds— 
MR. GARFIELD FARLEY OF ALBION, MICH., is a “Master Farmer” of our 
state, and well known as a successful, progressive farmer and orchardist. 
He writes: “Polar Yellow Dent Corn is disease-resistant and it withstands late 
spring frosts. It will shell 87%. My yield has repeatedly been 75 bushels of 
shelled corn per acre, officially checked by Michigan State Agricultural College. 
“I always have corn when my neighbors either have none or a very poor grade. 
I have grown this variety for several years and heartily recommend it.” 
1,500 bushels King of Picklers Cucumber from 4 acres, reports FRANK KLAUS, 
GARY, INDIAN A — and from a 20c ounce of Davis Perfect, MRS. VIAN, 
MUNISING, MICHIGAN, sold $45 worth of cukes, and “put up” 12 gals, in brine. 
Off in NEW' ENGLAND, HARRY F. ADAMS “raised on one acre 625 bushels 
of finest rutabagas ever grown in Connecticut.”—$25 worth of Earlibell Tomatoes 
sold by MRS. LYND from one pkt. seed costing 10c. — “We got top market price 
for our Tomatoes from Isbell’s Seed; finest on the market,” says MRS. PAYTON 
OF DANVILLE, ILLINOIS. 
80 bushels per acre of Wolverine Oats was the yield produced by HENRY 
JOHNSON, OWOSSO, MICHIGAN. — A 10c pkt. Isbell’s Lightning Express 
Cabbage produced heads averaging over 5 lbs., and, writes ANNA M. PETER¬ 
SON, “I canned over 121 quarts of Kraut and had plenty left to give away.”
