Olds Famous Triple Guarantee— 
Quality 
We guarantee the quality 
of all the items offered in this 
book to the extent that should 
they not prove as represented 
or you are not entirely satis¬ 
fied, we will refill the order or 
return the money; but in 
common with all reliable seed 
firms we give no further war¬ 
ranty, express or implied, as 
to description, quality, pro¬ 
ductiveness or any other mat¬ 
ter of any seeds, potatoes, 
bulbs or plants we send out 
and will not be responsible 
for the crop. 
Safe Arrival 
We guarantee everything 
to arrive in good order. If 
there is any trouble, however, 
bags torn or anything else 
wrong, have this noted on the 
freight expense bill which 
must be sent us with the bill 
of lading. 
Careful Attention 
All orders and remittances 
are promptly acknowledged 
and letters of inquiry person¬ 
ally and courteously answered, 
as a rule the same day they 
are received. 
THIS SEED BOOK Tells Ike llutki 
T his is our 52nd annual seed book, each succeeding 
one larger and more complete than its predecessor, 
a growth and development only made possible by an 
ever-widening circle of Olds’ customers and friends. 
The slogan and guiding ideal adopted a half century 
ago was “Known for Reliability,” and this motto has 
been lived up to through the years. So study this 
catalog with the assurance that you may depend upon 
it implicitly. 
We believe it is interesting to add that all the testi¬ 
monials and endorsements that follow are all unsolicited 
and made without any remuneration. They come to us 
from genuinely satisfied customers—such as we hope 
you are or will be. Limited space allows us to print 
only a few of the many received. 
HOW TO ORDER 
REMITTANCES. We will be responsible for all money 
sent us through the mail if remittance is made by post- 
office money order or express order, draft or registered 
letter. We will accept personal checks at face value. Small 
amounts, less than 50c, may usually be sent safely in 
postage stamps or coin, but be sure you register the letter. 
We prefer flve-cent stamps. 
MAKE USB OF THE ORDER SHEET appearing in the 
back of this book. If you have occasion to write us later 
regarding the order be sure to give the postoffice address 
under which it was mailed or the number of the order. 
WE ACKNOWLEDGE ORDERS promptly when received. 
If any part of the order is mailed right out, that answers 
as an acknowledgment or if the goods can be sent at once 
by freight or express we ship right out, sending acknowl¬ 
edgment and notice of shipment at the same time, en¬ 
closing bill of lading. 
POSTPAID PRICES. All garden seed prices, except 
the Market Gardeners’ Wholesale Prices are postpaid 
prices and include free transportation. PRICES ON FIELD 
SEEDS, POTATOES AND SIDE LINES DO NOT IN¬ 
CLUDE TRANSPORTATION UNLESS QUOTED POST¬ 
PAID. See table of Parcel Post Rates on page 56. 
WE SEND LARGE SHIPMENTS BY FREIGHT, unless 
otherwise instructed. We have three railroads here at 
Madison: C. & N. W., C. M. St. P. & P., and I. C. 
C. O. D. SHIPMENTS. Perishable items, such as plants 
and nursery stock, can not be sent C. 0. D. Other things 
may be sent that way if desired, providing one-fourth of 
the amount accompanies the order. 
OLDS' SEEDS ARE TESTED 
Here we show our chief analyst in our laboratory 
testing germination by sprouting seeds. Olds’ check 
every lot of seeds for purity and germination—identifi¬ 
cation being stamped on every package of seed, and 
on tags attached to field seeds.

FREE SEEDS 
R. H. Lang, 
President 
In order to insure 
“fresh” vegetable and 
flower seeds to fill orders, 
we package carry-over 
seed—and give them free 
to our customers for chil¬ 
dren’s gardens. All varie¬ 
ties are mixed together 
and will germinate 70% 
or better. _ We will be 
pleased to include a gen¬ 
erous package of “child’s 
mixture” free for the 
asking with your order. 
With each order regardless of size, we include a 
trial package of seed of our selection free. In this 
way we try to acquaint our customers with the better 
varieties.
