More Farmers are Doing It 
Our business is nation wide and farmers from every state send 
their orders to Berry’s. We are proud to number among our cus¬ 
tomers many of the best farmers in their communities. Thousands 
have bought from us for many years. They come back year after 
year because they have been satisfied with our seeds and con¬ 
vinced that they have saved money. 
The tendency of some farmers is to judge quality by the prices 
asked for seed. This is not always a good basis to go by. The 
extra expense of some dealers, larger profit demanded and higher 
prices paid for supplies may all result in higher prices to the 
farmer on seed of similiar quality. 
You can return any shipment that does not please you as to 
quality or value and your money plus freight will be refunded. 
EARLY BUYING ADVISED 
Our strong financial position enables us to take ad¬ 
vantage of favorable markets and lay in large stocks 
of seed for spring use. The stocks that we have at 
the start of the season are quite large and should 
take care of all early buyers. 
The prices in this catalog will be protected so long 
as supplies last or until market advances make dupli¬ 
cation impossible. There are a number of factors 
present that may advance prices sharply. Shortage 
of some stocks, stimulated demand caused by the AAA 
program and the possibility of a war boom period. 
We believe we are giving you sound advice when 
we urge you to order your seed early this year. Not 
only should you find prices lower now but early buy¬ 
ing will give you ample time to receive your seeds and 
have them retested if you wish. It is not our desire 
to scare you into buying early. It is simply our sin¬ 
cere belief that you will benefit yourself by buying 
early this year. 
If conditions compel you to delay buying we can 
assure you that we shall at all times give you the 
best possible service and the greatest possible values.

In several lines our seeds are graded ac¬ 
cording to color, size of berries and gen¬ 
eral appearance. Thus in our better grades 
you get a finer quality than from the dealer 
who mixes all kinds together. 
World Brand 
This is our Extra Fancy grade. It is our 
purest and highest testing stock. For years 
it has been the choice of our most exacting 
and critical trade. We recommend this 
quality to those who demand the best and 
invite comparisons to any highest quality 
grade sold by any dealer. 
Dealers Fancy 
A high quality. Not quite as fine as the 
W^orld Brand. It is still a very desirable 
grade and will pass for the best in many 
cases. 
Planet Brand 
This extra choice grade satisfies many 
customers. Not quite so bright and uni¬ 
form but they report good seeding at low 
cost. 
Square Brand 
Our lowest priced grade. Smaller ber¬ 
ried. A little lower germination but more 
seeds per pound, so it can perform well. 
Special Lots 
Some seed does not exactly fit into a 
regular grade or is secured for special 
prices. These are listed by name such as 
Lot Leader Red Clover, Honest John Al¬ 
falfa, etc.

It is easy to order by mail. Use our regular order blank form if you have one. If 
not, you can use any kind of paper or we will send you order blanks. 
Give full name and complete address. Tell where you want the seed shipped to and 
whether to ship by freight, express or parcel post (see to left for postage rates). 
If your freight station is different from post office be sure to say so. In case there is 
no agent at your freight station, then include freight charges in your remittance or let 
us ship to the nearest station where there is an agent. 
Figure up the cost of your order according to latest catalog or price list. If you 
want farm seeds shipped from Chicago remit Chicago prices as shown in catalog or 
price list.

Express Money order, Bank dralt or your own personal check on any going bank where 
you have funds to cover. Do not send stamps or coin when convenient to remit otherwise. 
We advise registering letters containing currency.
