To Our Friends Old and New: 
Once more it is time for the Seed Man to be thinking of the gardens and 
flowers we will all want next summer. While most folks are doing their Christmas 
Shopping, here I sit trying to get things lined up for spring and summer. 
We like the seed business. To me there is a real joy in selling seeds, 
plants, and trees—something that produces crops of food for man or beast, or a 
gloriously beautiful flower garden or yard. 
We hope you like our catalogue this year. It is entirely different from 
anything we have tried to get out before. It is made possible by the splendid support 
the people of Northern Wyoming and Southern Montana have given us. To merit 
a continuation of your good will is our constant aim, and we will greatly appreciate 
your patronage at all times. 
Sincerely, 
HD, Seat

ABOUT GUARANTEE 
We have used every possible care to secure seeds that are true to name, carefully selected, and of proper germination 
and purity. Owing to so many conditions beyond the control of either seedsman or planter, however, we cannot guarantee 
the description, purity, germination, productiveness, or any other matter of seed we send out, and will not be in any way 
responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on this basis, no sale is made and your money will 
be cheerfully refunded if the seed is returned promptly. 
NORTHERN SEED COMPANY 
WYOMING SALES TAX 
The Wyoming Selective Sales Tax Law in Wyoming exempts feeds only “for use in feeding livestock or poultry for 
marketing purposes.” It also exempts “all sales of seeds, roots, bulbs, small plants and fertilizer planted or applied to land, 
the products from which are to be sold.” 
Feed, seed, etc., other than for the above purposes is therefore taxable, as are all supplies, garden tools and miscel- 
laneous articles which we handle. Wyoming customers will please add 2% to the amount of their orders for such items 
to cover this tax. Mail orders to be shipped outside of the state are not subject to Wyoming Sales Tax.
