SCHELL’S QUALITY FARM SEEDS 
The Great Importance of Sowing Good Seed 
BUY FROM SCHELL’S AND KNOW YOU ARE GETTING THE BEST ALWAYS 
HEED THE WARNING! of Dr. E. M. Gress, State Official Seed Analyst, who urges every farmer to beware 
of those “so-called bargain” Clovers, Alfalfas, and other field seeds. Just stop and think a bit—why would any 
farmer sell eggs for 15 cents per dozen if the market price was 30 cents per dozen? He either would not do it, or 
would be foolish if he did, or there would be something wrong with those eggs. It is exactly the same with field 
seeds. Why would any seedsman or dealer sell his Alfalfa and Clover seed at $8.49 per bushel if the market value 
was $15 per bushel? He certainly would not do it, or would be foolish if he did, or there would be something 
wrong with those seeds. Just think that over a bit. We suggested that to one of our customers several years ago 
when he said “I can buy Alfalfa at $4 a bushel less than your price, and,” he continued, “it’s guaranteed to be satis¬ 
factory.” He ordered the “bargain seed,” saved $8 on the 2 bushels, then, since, he’s told me he has spent $200 
in cash for labor and two years of time trying to get the weeds out of that field before it pollutes his whole farm. 
As Dr. Gress advises, buy the seeds you need from a reliable house that can be depended on to supply you 
with high-quality, clean seeds of high germination. 
Schell’s Quality Clovers, Alfalfa, and other Grasses and all Field Seeds, are fancy quality, large, 
plump seeds, clean, new, and of high germination. 
And Remember, we follow the market prices up or down, so that you can depend on getting the best seeds 
from us as low as they can be purchased anywhere.

Inoculate the Seeds You Sow! Enriches Your Soil 
What NOD-O-GEN Does 
NOD-O-GEN causes nodules to 
develop on the roots of legume 
crops. In these nodules is gathered 
nitrogen from the air and converted 
into plant-food. This not only saves 
the plant-food in the soil, but inocu¬ 
lating with NOD-O-GEN adds ap¬ 
proximately 100 pounds of nitrogen 
per acre when the legume crop is 
turned under. NOD-O-GEN im¬ 
proves your crops in yield and 
quality.

There are Nod-O-Gen types of 
bacteria for every legume (pod¬ 
bearing) crop. Nod-O-Gen is 
quickly applied to seed, requiring no 
equipment or experience. Just 
sprinkle on the seeds. Full direc¬ 
tions on each bottle. Nod-O-Gen 
insures better plant-growth above 
and below ground. Use NOD-O- 
GEN cultures for all legumes. The 
cost per acre is extremely small. 
You really cause yourself a loss if 
you fail to use it.

SEEP OATS, Schell’s “Big Yielder” 
WINS AGAIN! In a test for quality and yield of 13 varieties 
of Seed Oats made last year on the Hershey Estate Farms, 
we are advised by Mr. B. A. Rockwell that Schell’s Big Yielder 
stood high on the list of the 13 varieties with a yiel d of 
75.5 bushels per acre. See the comparative yields. |p^P“ 
Pennsylvania’s Leading Oats. The Most Popular Oats in the 
State 
Sow Schell’s “Big Yielder” Seed Oats this year and you 
may get the biggest and best crop of Oats you ever grew. 
There is just one reason why we continue to sell thou¬ 
sands of bushels of our Schell’s “Big Yielder” Seed Oats, 
and that is because of its high standard of quality and its 
tremendous yield. This makes our customers come back for 
more when they want new “blood”—and when a neighboring 
farmer sees a crop of it he wants it also. 
Schell’s “Big Yielder” Oats has been making 70 to 80 
bushels to the acre on the same soil and under the same con¬ 
ditions that produced 40 bushels from the old varieties. 
Schell’s “Big Yielder” Oats has outyielded every other 
variety of tree or spreading Oats tested with it. With the 
yield you get quality; it is an unusually heavy-bodied Oats, 
big, plump, meaty grains, with very little chaff. It is a 
spreading or “tree” Oats; the straw is very strong, practically 
lodge-proof and averages 4 to 5 feet in height. A measured 
bushel will weigh from 42 to 45 pounds. Sow 2K bushels to 
the acre. A 20-acre field may give you many more dollars 
than ordinary Oats by increasing your yield 20 to 40 bushels 
more per acre. Good Seed Oats of high germination is very 
important always in order to produce the largest crop of the 
best quality for you. Take no chance—order Schell’s “Big 
Yielder” which is sold to you on a positive guarantee that the 
seed will meet with your approval when received and you may 
keep it a week and test it if you wish. If it is not all we say, 
you may return it at our expense and we will refund the amount 
you have paid. Prices: 1 to 9 bus., $1.50 per bus.; 10 to 24 
bus., $1.45 per bus.; 25 to 50 bus. or more, $1.40 per bus.
