Field Seed Prices 
Quantity prices on field seeds are not stated for the reason 
that they cannot be accurately determined at the time the 
catalog is printed. As field seeds move in larger volume than 
garden seeds, stocks and markets are constantly changing. 
We, therefore, issue price lists to meet these conditions and 
they will be mailed to interested parties upon request. 
Or, if you have an idea of the variety or kind and approx¬ 
imate amount of Field Seeds you may require, send ns your 
list and we will, without obligation to you, gladly make Spe¬ 
cial F.O.B. or Delivered Prices. 
Our Field Seeds are described in this catalog on pages 60 
to 70.
