Why Our Prices Are Low 
Just common horse sense tells you our direct buying 
from producing districts and direct selling to you will save 
you money. We handle millions of pounds of seeds each 
year. Our big buying power enables us to buy at low 
prices. This permits us to sell lower direct to you. We have 
low operating costs. Our low prices increase our sales. A 10% 
profit on $30.00 worth of orders looks better to us than 20% 
on $10.00 worth of orders. More satisfied customers increase 
our volume.

Our Seed Analyzed 
The test tags attached to ship- 
h L=_ments of seed show the results of 
e /O I - - ir^ the purity and germination tests of 
a composite sample of the lot of 
seed from which shipment is taken. 
This sample is obtained by taking 
small quantities of seed from dif¬ 
ferent portions of the lot. These are 
mixed thoroughly so as to make the 
composite sample as representative 
as possible of the entire lot of seed. A portion of this sam])le is 
taken to make the purity and germination test. This is the gen¬ 
eral method of testing seed and is followed by ourselves. In most 
cases the analysis is our own, but occasionally we use the analysis 
furnished by the party selling us the seed if from a reliable shipper. 
It is our aim to attach such test tags to all shipments made. Some¬ 
times a tag will be missed or lost from the shipment, but in such 
^ase a test tag may be had upon request. 
Part of our service is 
to take good country 
seed, reclean it, grade 
it. However, we often 
buy seed which has been 
previously cleaned and 
in such instances, we do 
not reclean it. Remov¬ 
ing weed seeds, light 
stock and chaff makes 
smoother, more uniform 
and more valuable 
stock. The percentage 
of clean out is often as¬ 
tonishing. You may be 
able to buy country 
seed for a few cents less 
per acre, but it is more 
to your interest to sow 
recleaned, tested seed. 
NEW FEDERALI our. grades OF SEED 
SEED LAW 
Recently a new Federal 
Seed Law was passed by 
Congress, regulating the 
sale of seeds in interstate 
commerce. It requires all 
seed shipments to be 
tagged according to the re¬ 
strictions of noxious weeds 
as provided by the law of 
your State. Also purity 
and germination tests are 
given. This gives you prac¬ 
tically the same informa¬ 
tion as you would get from 
a retail seed dealer.

fancy quality. Beautiful color.

pearance. Will compare favor¬ 
ably with many of the “Best”
