SALTON GUARANTY 
pp SEALTIOE ARAN 
We positively guarantee our seeds, plants and bulbs to be exactly 
as represented, and in condition to grow satisfactorily if planted and 
eared for properly. Any single item not found to be entirely satis- 
factory will be replaced absolutely free of. charge, or we will re- 
fund you every cent you paid, including transportation charges both 
ways. 
For 61 years Reuter has steadfastly adhered to the highest stand- 
ards-of quality. No effort or expense is spared to furnish our many 
customers with the best. Even with the highest quality seeds, bulbs 
and plants, success in gardening or farming depends largely upon 
cultivation, soil and weather conditions. Therefore, in common with 
the universal custom of the Seed Trade, Reuter Seed Company, Inc., 
gives no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, 
productiveness or any other matter, of seeds, bulbs or plants it sends 
out, and it will not be in any way responsible for the crop. We ac- 
cept responsibility not for the crop, but to the extent of the amount 
of money paid for the seeds. 
Reuter operates his own modern seed laboratory in charge of a 
graduate Seed-Analyst, formerly with the United States Govern- 
ment. Every lot of seed is painstakingly analyzed for purity and 
carefully tested for germination. Tests are also conducted in our 
large greenhouses, and finally checked under our personal super- 
vision at our experimental farm. All seed must measure up to 
Reuter’s rigid specifications, otherwise it is not shipped to you. 
LARGEST COMPLETE STOCKS 
Reuter places at your disposal the largest, finest and most complete 
stock of vegetable, farm and flower seeds in the entire South. Our 
warehouses are filled to the roofs with thousands of bags of the 
choicest seeds, produced especially for us under contract with the 
foremost seed breeders and growers in all parts of the world. We 
attempt, as far as ‘humanly possible, to carry in stock at all times 
a sufficient quantity of every single variety offered in this catalog, 
so that all of your orders will be filled promptly and completely. 
Reuter urges you to make this immense, carefully selected stock 
the one dependable source of your entire seed supply. 
AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE 
We have installed in our own building the most modern, air-cooled, 
vermin-proof seed storage rooms. You will always find our seeds 
are of the highest germination, not only’ because every pound is 
fresh, new-crop stock, and not only because they are always pains- 
takingly tested by a graduate Seed Analyst, but germination and 
vitality are maintained through these controlled temperatures and 
humidities in our seed storage rooms, which were designed for the 
sole purpose of storing our seeds under :the most ideal conditions. 
Reuter has expended thousands of dollars in the latest equipment for 
this control of temperature and humidity to doubly assure you of 
receiving only seeds of strongest vitality and highest. germination, 
VEGETABLESSEED PRICES 
Many vegetable seed prices have increased due to the war in 
Europe. Denmark, Holland, England, France, as well as other 
countries are important sources of seed supply. Further shipments 
from these nations are ended. American seed production at present 
is not sufficient to provide for our normal needs. Stocks of vege- 
table seeds of foreign origin are very scarce. Consequently, higher 
prices are the rule rather, than the exception. 
Reuter is amply prepared to fill your orders promptly with the 
finest American-grown and imported vegetable seeds at prices only 
slightly above values that prevailed during normal times. You are 
urged to order early. Don’t delay because the demand for high- 
grade, pre-tested, quality vegetable seeds of many Kinds may soon 
exhaust the present stocks available in this country.
