7a 0(4/1 ^^e4ixti — 
We again wish to thank you for the past season’s business and wish to assure you that 
it was highly appreciated. In sending you our twentieth annual Catalog we want to 
stress that for twenty years we have handled the best strains of all varieties of seeds that 
it is possible to obtain and your orders for 1940 will be filled with the same high quality 
merchandise as you have received in the past. This applies not only to Vegetable Seeds 
but to Flower Seeds, Farm Seeds and Grass Seeds as well. 
There are a few items to which we want to call your special attention. One is ‘ •Hy¬ 
brid Corn,” both in the Field Corn varieties and Sweet Corn varieties. Hybrid Corn has 
demonstrated its superiority over open pollinated varieties to such an extent that the 
planting of Hybrid Corn is increasing each season by as large a per cent as available seed 
stocks will permit. Another item is “Pyrocide Dust,” which the past season has proven 
its merit as a Non-poisonous Dust for controlling both chewing and sucking insects. 
Sincerely yours, 
THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN SEED COMPANY.

We Do Not Warrant Seeds 
The fact that no reputable seedsman now warrants seed in any respect being well known, renders it unnecessary for us 
to say very much on this point, as it must be apparent to every intelligent person that no seedsman can afford to send 
out poor, worthless seeds. There could be no more certain wiy of destroying his business. 
The seeds offered in this catalog have been carefully grown, selected, cleaned and tested for germination, and we believe 
them to be first class in every respect, but we cannot guarantee the crop, as too many conditions enter into it; therefore.
