TREAT ALL SEER CORN 
WITH SEMESAN JR. 
Reduces the seed rotting-, permits earlier planting, 
improves stand, increases yield. In actual tests in 
26 out of 28 farm tests in 20 counties, including four 
of the largest corn growing states. New Improved 
Semesan Jr. increased the yield 1% to 6% bushels 
per acre. Think of these increased yields at a cost 
of less than 2c per acre. Common sense tells you 
not to plant a grain of corn which is not treated. 
According to Illinois Agricultural College the av¬ 
erage increase yields in northern two-third3 of 
Illinois has been about three bushel per acre. All 
of our Hybrid seed corn is treated with Semesan Jr. 
at no extra cost. Open pollinated corn will be 
treated for 20c per bushel. 
4 cz. can treats 2 bushel, costs you 30c 
1 lb. can treats 8 bushel, costs you 75c 
Seed can be treated weeks in advance, in fact if 
next we would advise treating it with Semesan Jr.

The cost of this has also been greatly reduced, 
costing now only about one-fifth what it did two 
years ago. Increases the yield from 2 to 5 bushel 
per acre. In 65 tests over a three year period New 
Improved Ceresan treated oats out-yielded un¬ 
treated oats by 3.2 bushel per acre or over 18%. 
1 lb. which treats 32 bushel now only costs. .70c 
5 lb. can which treats 160 bushel.$3.00 
You not only increase the yields this much by 
using Improved Ceresan bu^ you also increase the 
quality of the crop.

GRADES OF SEER CORN 
In grading- our hybrid corn, we get six grades, but sell only three grades. No. 1 grade 
is the best graded, being the even size large flat grains for edge drop planters. No. 2 grade 
is also for edge drop but grains are smaller which goes farther and preferred by many at the 
difference in price, this grade goes farther, will usually plant nine acres or more. 
The third grade is the round grains, but not the largest as these are sold for commercial 
corn. 
On our open pollinated corn which is so cheap this year, we sell only the two edge drop 
grades. No. 1 for $2.25 per bu. and No. 2 for $1.50. 
PREMIER SWEDISH PEAT MOSS 
Years ago we imported large shipments of German peat moss, but for the past several seasons, 
we have imported Swedish moss which we find to be much better. Swedish peat moss absorbs 
13% times its weight, German 10%. Less woody material, ash content, Swedish, 1.03, German, 
1.68, 22 to 23 bu. Price per bale, $3.00; bale, $1.85. 
Horticultural peat moss, one of the best humus fertilizers for lawn, shrubs and flowers, bale, $3.00.

SEER POTATOES 
We are headquarters for good Northern Grown Seed Potatoes. Most of our potatoes coming- from Northern North Dakota, 
about 40 miles from the Canadian line. All black dirt potatoes. Do you know seed potatoes from black dirt soil will often 
produce twice as many potatoes as seed from sand land. Possibly, in the past, you have planted good looking potatoes which 
failed to produce. Black dirt potatoes usually cost more, but are worth more. 
EARLY TRIUMPHS. The earliest kind of a potato, some¬ 
times called Six Weeks potato, reddish in color, almost round 
with a smooth skin. Not a main crop potato, but a few 
should always be planted for early use. Price per 100 lb. bag, 
$1.85. 
RURAL NEW YORKER. A good main crop potato, oblong 
in shape with two rather flat sides, smooth white skin, eyes 
very inconspicuous, a very high yielding variety. A potato 
which is adapted to most all soils. It is easily grown, a 
good keeper and all in all is one of the best you can grow. 
Price per 100 lb. bag, $3.05. 
Semesan Bel for Potatoes 
Semesan Bel by controlling diseases which sap the vitality 
of seed potatoes, gives the seeds a chance to germinate quickly, 
producing sprouts of healthy vigor from which grow in¬ 
creased yields of clean healthy plants and tubers. 
Apply to whole or cut seed potatoes either as a dry powder 
or dip. 
Four ounces treats 15 bushels of potatoes. Price, 45c; 
1 lb. treats 50 bushels, cost $1.50. 
EARLY OHIO. Red River Ohio potatoes are the 
best all around variety you can grow. No doubt 
there are more Red River Ohio potatoes grown than 
all others added together. This cut shows a typical 
sample with blunt ends, oblong in shape, with me¬ 
dium eyes,/rather dark smooth skin. Price, $1.75 
per bug of 100 lbs. Certified, $2.00. 
IRISH COBBLERS. Grown in the Red River Val¬ 
ley. First grown in the east by New Jersey and 
New York truckers for fancy hotel trade that re¬ 
quired whitfe potatoes. It is almost a pure white 
potato, round with rough sides, eyes deeper than 
the Ohio. The Cobbler is one of the highest yield¬ 
ing’ potatoes and for a medium late potato it can¬ 
not be excelled, always cooking* up dry and mealy, 
price per 106' lb. bug, $1.00. Certified. $1.85.

“The increase in yield from Improved Semesan Bel was 
about 20%. I also treated some of nry seed with hot formal¬ 
dehyde and I am convinced that Improved Semesan Bel is 
much better,” writes one of our growers.
