THIS CATALOG how good are our seeds? 
We mailed it to you because we would like to be favored 
^ith some of your business. 
This catalog containing only 32 pages is an extract out of 
our regular catalog of 120 pages containing offers that it is 
impossible to crowd into an affair of only 32 pages. 
Our aim in sending you this small catalog is, to make you 
interested in our establishment to the extent that you will 
write us (a postal card will do) and ask for our big catalog. 
Our big catalog is worth having because it contains offers 
of vegetable and flower seeds of either entirely new varieties 
or of standard varieties of which we have pure and true to 
name seed. Also it contains LOTS of information pertaining 
to vegetable and flower growing. 
This big catalog will cost you nothing; we will be glad 
to mail it to you upon request. 
If for any reason you will be unable to send us an order 
after reading our big catalog, we ask you to please hand or 
loan our catalog to your friends. Your friends may be glad 
to learn as to what kind of a seed house ours is. 
In short, we are looking for business, and any favors, 
however small, will be appreciated by us. We thank you in 
advance for any show of friendliness, and wishing you the 
best of luck, we are, 
Yours very truly,

Who We Are — What We Do 
We are seed growers and cater to the most critical trade 
there is, namely, to market gardeners, truckers, canners and 
florists. We supply to this critical trade seeds of the highest 
quality. 
We never send out second grade seeds as some may think 
when comparing our prices with those of others. The best 
is none too good when it comes to seeds—we know it—and 
act accordingly. 
Using our seeds means to be on the safe side. Our seeds 
are reliable and favorably known since 1905—in other words, 
for thirty-four years. 
Save Money—Save Worry 
ADDRESS YOUR ORDERS TO: 
Giorgi—Seeds 
Council Bluffs, la. 
The foremost vegetable and flower growers, among them 
the biggest establishments of national repute, depend for their 
seed supply on us. Let us get acquainted, a trial order will 
do this—and whether large or small, will be highly appreci¬ 
ated by us, promptly filled, and we hope will lead to mutu¬ 
ally profitable and increased dealings. Place your orders 
early. Seeds are not bricks. Bricks can be had at any time, 
in any quantity—the supply of clay is unlimited. Not so with 
seeds. Every year certain seeds are in short supply owing 
to poor crops. Shortages show as the season advances— 
order early while the supply is good. 
THIS CATALOG 
of ours consisting of 32 pages is only a 
“sample.” We have a real catalog of 120 
pages that costs money to print but which 
you can have for nothing if you will write 
and ask for a copy. 
Our big catalog describes thousands of 
vegetable varieties and thousands of flowers. 
It contains information some of such nature 
that you will not find anywhere else.

BIG CATALOG 
TO SUPPLY THE VERY BEST seeds is our specialty. 
Most anybody can grow seeds. How good? 
There are many seed growers in this world. Only a few 
are on the job producing seeds as near perfect as is humanly 
possible. We know who these good seed growers are and 
we know the would be seed growers. When we buy seeds 
such as we ourselves cannot produce owing to climatic con¬ 
ditions, we buy only from growers that we know, turn out a 
product way above the average. 
Seed grown with care costs more money to produce. 
But the difference in price is not very great. We gladly pay 
more for the seed when we know that we are getting our 
money’s worth. To get high class seed means this: First the 
plants that are to produce the seed must be sorted out. 
Nothing but perfect type of plants is planted for a seed crop. 
While the plants are growing and developing the grower or 
his assistants go through the fields as many as five times 
during the growing season and ruthlessly pull out every 
plant that is not true to type. That cuts down the crop but 
raises the quality of the seed. 
Seed grown as outlined above is the seed we handle. 
Lower prices do not interest us when we are buying or plac¬ 
ing contracts for seed crops. We protect the interests of 
our customers and maintain for ourselves a good name. 
When comparing prices our prices may seem to be ab¬ 
normally low in some cases. When we ask less than others 
there is a reason. The customer gets the benefit — saves 
money. When we ask a high price for some of the special 
strains it is for unavoidable causes. Some seed to be really 
good must be rogued so severely that sometimes one half 
of the seed bearing plants is destroyed and this process is 
going on for a period of years. To make a long story short 
we say: Pay no attention to prices we ask. Rest assured 
that we did see to it that the seed is seed of quality and safe 
to use. You will have no complaint to make. We deliver 
the goods. That is why we are in business for over thirty- 
one years. 
If the traveling salesmen of some of the competitors are 
knocking us to you, let them talk. Buy their seeds and 
buy also some of ours. Compare the results. Let the re¬ 
sults do the talking. 
GOOD BUSINESS AHEAD 
with slight changes in the present system. The present system. 
What is it? One prey on another. I cheat you and you cheat me— 
if you can get by with it. A fine system. No? Is there a better 
system ? There is! 
All that is needed to make the present system a human system is 
to place personal character above money and to adopt a few other 
slight changes. 
That done, everyone would try to outdo the other in honesty, 
learning, agreeable manners and dollars would become the second 
fiddle. 
Honest people would rule and the crooks would be made to work. 
We are not condemning the capitalistic system. Under it, mankind 
made an immense progress. The system forced the people to exert 
themselves to the utmost. That does not work any more, we all 
can see that. 
We have too much of everything, yet millions are unable to make 
a bare living. That a change is needed we all know. Very few do 
know how easy it is to make a few slight changes to bring about 
prosperity for all. 
A man, a great man wrote a book in which he explains how, by 
adopting a few slight changes in the present economic system ALL 
of us would benefit immensely. His book tells the truth. Your daily 
papers will not tell you the truth. You should, you MUST know 
the truth. Here is your chance to learn the TRUTH and the facts 
as to why the depression is on and how to almost instantly, sweep 
the depression out of the way. Read W. H. Harvey’s “The Book” a 
book of 224 pages costing only 25 cents, postpaid, which you can get 
from Mundus Publishing Co., Monte Ne, Arkansas, or from us.
