50 YEARS SUPPLYING SEEDS 
Fifty Years ago, I established this business and laid its foundation on the broad principles of quality, 
integrity and fair-dealing, and I consider the maintenance of these principles essential to our continued 
success. 
It is a pleasure to present you this Seed Book our 50th Anniversary Edition, made up in new style 
and offering the best Seeds that can be produced. Mills Seeds are all sold through our Seed Books and can 
be had only by ordering direct from Mills Seed House. 
All our Seeds are Tested before being put up and sent out; first for germination in Testing House, and 
then for trueness of stock outside in our Testing Gardens. You cannot buy better seeds at any price, and 
we guarantee vitality and purity if they are properly planted and cared for. 
This year we offer for the first time two sizes of Flower Seed Packets, nearly all 5c and 1 Oc sizes, and 
specify number of seeds in each packet, guaranteeing the number will always overrun. On this plan you 
pay for only what seeds you want to plant. 
Do not overlook the 4 Seed Novelties we are asking our Customers to Test this year—See next page. 
We will include FREE one Test Packet of each variety with every cash Seed Order received during 
1937. Read our Special Offer on Page 3. 
During the growing season the public is invited to inspect our Trial Gardens, where hundreds of dif¬ 
ferent varieties of Annuals and Perennials are in bloom. /It* 
Visitors are always welcome. Or rvtiJcJoO

The Mills Guarantee 
FIRST — We guarantee the Vitality and 
Purity of our Seeds to the full amount , 
of the purchase price. Even with the 
highest quality of Seeds, success depends 
largely upon soil, not too deep or too 
shallow planting, cultivation and weath¬ 
er conditions. It is, therefore, agreed 
that in no case shall we be liable for 
more than the amount actually paid, and 
if not accepted on these conditions, they 
must be returned at once. 
SECOND — We guarantee the safe ar¬ 
rival of all Seeds in good condition, and 
should anything be damaged or lost on 
the way we will refill when proof is fur¬ 
nished. This is the Double Guarantee that 
protects all who purchase MILLS SEEDS.
