We take this opportunity of thanking our friends for their patronage during the past and 
ask for a continuation of same. 
THE INLAND SEED COMPANY 
was organized in 1911 and has continued in business all these years under the same manage¬ 
ment and has persistently followed the principle of furnishing the best seeds obtainable, 
believing that quality is of much more importance than price, and would suggest to the 
purchaser of seeds that their first consideration be given to quality. 
THE DIFFICULTY 
is that the purchaser of seeds cannot always judge quality by appearance, therefore, to a great 
extent, must rely upon the reputation of the seed company with which he is dealing. 
THE INLAND SEED COMPANY 
at all times prefers to purchase home grown seeds when quality measures up to its high 
standard that it persistently aims at and has always carefully investigated strains and varieties 
best suited to the Northwest. 
We are at all times glad to discuss with farmers, gardeners and housewives any of their 
problems in which they are interested. Our time and knowledge of such matters are at your 
disposal and if we cannot serve you in a manner that will increase your joy and pleasure in 
living, we do not want you to purchase, but will gladly direct you, if we can, where you can 
be better served. We are here to serve, and the more efficiently we can do this, the better we 
are pleased and the better our customers are pleased. 
BETTER GARDENING 
The past three years we have been advertising the above book edited by Harry O’Brien. This 
book consisted of 48 pages and sold for 10 cents. This book has been entirely rewritten and 
now contains 120 pages, and we are advised is lavishly illustrated with photographs from the 
most complete library of horticultural pictures in America. Mr. O’Brien has been gathering a 
fund of new information in his travels amongst growers, horticulturists and the leaders in 
the gardening fraternities. The following are some of the new features: Up-to-the-minute lists 
of plant varieties, latest science of soil chemistry, how to propagate, when to divide, the 
make and use of hotbeds and cold frames. Price 25c. 
FREE INFORMATION BUREAU 
We are glad to record that our customers have used this freely, and we wish to state that it 
has been a source of great pleasure and profit to ourselves, as frequently we have been obliged 
to investigate before answering, and this fact accounts for the delay of a few days in answer¬ 
ing some inquiries. This has been established for the use of our customers and the more it is 
used the better we are pleased. It is entirely free.
