A Message of Good Will 
From the Martin-Pratt Seed Co. 
To Our Florist and Nurseryman Friends: 
For 1938 we wish you a year both of personal happiness 
and of real good prosperous business. May we all give our 
best efforts to that end. 
We are sending you this catalog believing that you will 
find it an excellent list from which to purchase your seed 
requirements. For we are providing through this catalog 
seeds of the very finest quality to be obtained, and at en¬ 
tirely reasonable and fair prices. 
Although our costs of all most every kind have advanced 
during the past months, we have not, in the average, ad¬ 
vanced our prices, realizing that our customers are not in a 
position to pay more than is absolutely necessary for the 
seeds that are really the first step in the making of a crop. 
We have again carefully checked our list of varieties, add¬ 
ing many worth while new strains, and eliminating others 
that are losing in popularity. Of some varieties there was 
clearly not enough seed harvested to fully supply the de¬ 
mand, so we urge placing your order just as soon as you 
possibly can. 
We sincerely appreciate the business you have given us in 
the past and assure you of our continued efforts to please 
you. 
THE MARTIN-PRATT SEED CO. 
Success 
With Our Seeds Is 
Assured Because— 
1. Our original sources of sup¬ 
ply are very carefully sel¬ 
ected for extra value, not 
price. We pay premiums for 
real fine selections. 
2. We carry on germination 
tests the year around in our 
own greenhouses and out¬ 
door frames. 
3. We conduct adequate type 
tests in our trial grounds 
and general nursery. 
4. Every order is handled per¬ 
sonally by a financially re¬ 
sponsible member of our 
company. 
The above snapshots were taken in our Trial Grounds. 
We welcome all visitors who are interested in checking and comparing varieties.
