52 YEARS SUPPLYING SEEDS 
TO A MILLION FLOWER LOVERS:— 
We want to encourage planting more Flowers everywhere to Beautify American Homes. What 
is more attractive than Flowers growing all about the home grounds, or along Streets and Highways. 
Many Annual Flower Seeds can be planted after danger of frost right where they are to grow and 
bloom, and we recommend for a color display such annuals as Zinnias, Marigolds, Calendulas, Cosmos, 
Salpiglossis , Codettas, Dianthus, Portulaca, Phlox, Cornflowers, Masturtiums, Sweet Peas, Poppies, 
Clarkias, Scabiosas, Calliopsis, Lupines, Strawflowers, and many others. 
Other Showy Flowers, but which should be started inside or hotbed and set out when large enough 
after danger of frost are; Petunias, Asters, Verbenas, Larkspurs, Celosias, Salvias, Carnations, Snap¬ 
dragons, Ageratums, Pansies, and others. Seeds of high priced varieties or very small seeds should be 
planted inside or in a protected seed bed for starting plants. 
We are Donating to our Customers through Special 1939 Discounts Thousands of Dollars LOorth 
of Seeds to encourage them to beautify their surroundings with more Flowers, and are making it possible 
to do so at very small expense.

The Mills Guarantee 
FIRST — We guarantee the Vitality and 
Purity of our Seeds to the full amount 
of the purchase price if properly planted. 
Even with the highest quality of Seeds, 
success depends largely upon soil, not 
too deep or too shallow planting, cultiva¬ 
tion and weather conditions after plant¬ 
ing. It Is, therefore, agreed that in no 
case shall we be liable for more than 
the amounl actually paid, and If not 
accepted on these conditions, they must 
be returned at once. 
SECOND — We guarantee the safe ar¬ 
rival of all Seeds in good condition, and 
should anything be damaged or lost on 
the way we will refill when proof Is fur¬ 
nished. This is the Double Guarantee that 
protects all who purchase MILLS SEEDS.
