PRIZE LETTER 
F. S. & N Co.: 
Just a note to let you 
know I have made 100% 
profit on your White Gold 
Potatoes. I bought 10 
pounds of these fine seed 
potatoes from you, and at 
digging time I took 16 of 
the largest and best White 
Golds to our annual Corn 
and Lamb Show. After the 
judging was over I found 
a green ribbon on these 
White Gold Potatoes which 
meant first prise and a cash 
award, and the potatoes 
were still my property, be¬ 
sides the rest of the crop 
raised from your seed.

"GOLDEN JUBILEE" PRIZE LETTER 
F. S. & N. Co.: 
In 1936, when I moved to my farm in Brookings 
County, I needed a windbreak. I bought some of 
your Chinese Elms and in five years the grove 
vuas a godsend to my stock and a monument to 
the farm. 
Later I bought some of your seed corn and 
raised a wonderful crop. I entered this corn in 
the State Crop Shotv at Brookings in competition 
with six counties and got first grand sweepstakes, 
the silver cup. 
When you buy seeds from a reliable house you 
can raise good crops. 
For two years it was so dry all we raised was 
Chinese Elms and whiskers. You will get my order 
for 1938. Success to a firm that sells good seeds 
at a fair price.
