T his catalogue is intended as a complete reference book on the 
best varieties of farm and garden seeds. We do not conduct a 
mail order business direct with consumers. Our seeds are sold by 
thousands of live progressive merchants throughout the country. This 
patronage over a period of many years is the result of the dependability, 
hardiness and productiveness of our high grade selected seeds. Grown 
in the regions where the different kinds and varieties reach their high¬ 
est development, they are selected and adapted for planting in the sec¬ 
tions which we sell. Better seeds than our brands are not procurable 
at any price. To use cheaper seeds is to risk poor crops and unsatis¬ 
factory stands. 
We maintain a complete laboratory for analyzing and testing the 
seeds we send out, thus insuring tested stock at no increased cost. 
Our organization, developed through a quarter century of growth, 
is composed of men of ripe experience, trained in the technical demands 
of this exacting business, whose life work is dedicated to the promotion 
of better seeds and larger crops. In addition^ to the executives, who 
guide the policy of this business, is a large,force of capable office, plant 
and field workers, seed analysts, cleaning,^nd Refining experts, field 
buyers and inspectors, feed millers, credit men, traffic men, etc. 
A very few communities raise' sufficient seeds for their own con¬ 
sumption. Even when some farm seeds are produced in a particular 
section, they may not be fit for seeding. They need to be analyzed in 
the laboratory for noxious weeds, to come under the eye of the experi¬ 
enced cleaner. Why experiment when the services of a large concern 
are at your service? Any slight increase in price over home grown or 
cheaper seeds is more than offset in the increased results per acre and 
larger yield in bushels and tons. 
Then, too, our machinery and equipment is the most improved and 
modern. Our seeds are refined by new processes, special screens, air 
blasts, gravity separators, etc. All perform their minute operation, * 
almost with human touch, and the many thousands of farmers and gar¬ 
deners, who intrust their seed orders to the merchants handling our 
seeds, reap the benefit. 
When the season for planting is on, large stocks must be quickly 
available. Our orders are usually shipped the same day they are re¬ 
ceived. 
REAL SERVICE, not only in preparing seeds, but in getting them 
to the consumer, as needed, is our slogan. 
As seeds are subject to climatic and other conditions over which we have no control after leaving 
our plant, therefore we give no warranty, expressed or implied, as to description, quality, productive¬ 
ness or any other matter of any seeds we send out and we will not be in any way responsible for the 
crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms, he must notify us at once, and we 
will give instructions for disposition of goods.
