At the commencement of another season it is with pleasure that we 
present to our customers the new edition of our Annual Seed and 
Supply Catalog and we take the opportunity of assuring you how highly 
we appreciate the confidence you have always placed in us. We need 
hardly say that it will continue to be our constant endeavor to merit 
this confidence in the future, by executing all orders entrusted to our 
care with the greatest possible promptness and accuracy. 
Our ambition has been to serve you in such manner as to merit a 
return to our Company year after year for seeds and supplies. The seed 
we supply you is of the highest quality both with regards trueness-to- 
type and viability. Seeds like all other merchandise can be purchased 
for less money. Buying seed is often likened to “buying a pig in a 
poke”. You cannot tell what you are getting when you purchase. You 
must depend upon the honesty and integrity of the house with which 
you are dealing. We realize that only through confidence, built with 
“BETTER SEEDS” can we expect to continue in your good graces. 
Therefore we buy only the very best—that you will be pleased with 
MONARCH seeds. You can buy cheaper seeds than we list in this 
catalog, but we assure you, you can buy no better. 
We deeply appreciate the loyal support of countless customers and 
trust it may be our extreme pleasure to serve you again this Spring. 
We know you will be pleased with anything you order from our 1938 
catalog. 
Very sincerely. 
MONARCH SEED & FEED CO., 
Miksche Brothers. 
Customers Please Take Notice 
Our Terms are Strictly Cash with Order. We pre¬ 
fer not to send seeds C. O. D. unless order is accom¬ 
panied by at least one-third of the amount of order. 
How to Remit. Send postal money order, express 
money order, or check. Stamps will do if your order 
is for a small amount. 
Errors. We exercise every care in handling your 
orders, but should an error occur, kindly write us 
at once, and we will adjust it promptly. 
All prices in this catalog are subject to change 
without notice. 
Reports—Good or Bad. Will you help us to attain 
greater success by writing and telling us how our 
Seeds and Supplies reach you, how they grow and 
how you like them? We will certainly appreciate it. 
Your criticisms, if you have any, as well as your 
praises, are desired. 
Non-Warranty. Most of the failures with seeds 
are due to causes entirely beyond our control, such 
as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, too deep 
or too shallow planting, etc., which renders it im¬ 
possible for us to guarantee sucess. We therefore 
give no warranty as to description, quality or pro¬ 
ductiveness of any of the seeds we send out, and 
will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If 
the purchaser does not accept the goods under these 
conditions, they are to be at once returned. 
WE DO NOT GUARANTEE REPLACEMENT 
OF GOODS SENT BY MAIL. An additional remit¬ 
tance of 5 cents will insure any mail package.
