Se —tsEOOUR.- NATION'S GREATEST DEFENSE 
Dear Friend: Last December our country was called upon to meet a crisis. We are the greatest agricultural 
country in the world. With unlimited resources of food and farm products, I knew the U. S. would success- 
fully meet that crisis. I want to do my share and co-operate with the farmers in helping to hold down 
seed prices this year. I don’t believe in profiteering under present conditions. The high prices this year 
are not due to war conditions. There was a great shortage in Alfalfa, Red Clover, Sweet Clover, 
Timothy and some other seed crops. I believe seeds are high enough. We bought most of our y 
seeds early. We can sell them at the low prices in our Catalog as long as our stocks last. 
We have some real bargains. I want you to compare our samples and prices with y 
offers of other seed dealers. We buy direct from the producing districts of the north. 4 
We handle around 130 to 160 cars of seeds each year. We sell direct to the 
farmer. On some seeds we undersell some dealers $2.00 to $3.00 per bushel. 
I wish to call your attention to our Certified Hybrid Corn. We have re- 
ceived many voluntary letters from our customers about the wonderful 
yields from our Hybrid Corn. We sell practically only U. S. Dept. 
of Agri. and State Originated Hybrids. Why are our prices lower? 
We don’t pay country agents $1.00 to $1.50 per bushel commis- 
sion. We give you this commission in lower prices. We challenge 
our Hybrids with any of the high priced, highly advertised Hy- 
brids sold with individual brands. 
Friends, I am asking for your seed orders this year. I know you 
are interested in good clean seeds at low prices. Our direct buy- a 
ing and selling cuts out much of the middlemen’s profits. On many cs 
seeds you can save 15 to 25%. Read our ‘‘Money Back Guaran- 
tee’? on page 2. You get a square deal when you trade with us. 
With limited seed stocks in seed dealers’ hands, I urge you to buy 
early. Don’t wait until prices are higher. Buy now. Kindly let us 
hear from you. Sincerely yours, 
E. E. ELDER, President.

REDCLOVER 
With Alsike€ Timothy. wg. — 
cen = — ey GH OWN ) | 



A combination that is hard to beat. 
farmers add some Alsike and Timothy to Red 
Clover for a well balanced seeding. Lot ‘‘Dia- 
mond”? is composed of over 50% of Red Clover 
and Alsike Clover, and the balance fancy Tim- 
othy Seed. More Red Clover than Alsike. A rich 
combination. When sown 8 pounds per acre, 
you have an average of about 40 Red Clover 
and Alsike Clover seeds per square foot, in ad- 
dition to the Timothy. Under farm program 
the A.A.A. payment for sowing this combination is 75c per acre 
in many parts of the country. See page 2 for more particulars. 
You’ll Like the Quality and Savings 
Lot “Diamond” is new crop domestic northern grown seed. 
Has a good bright color. It has been recleaned and tested. Shows 
good purity and germination. This is not cheap seed. I guarantee 
it to be good dependable quality. If you are doubtful about the 
quality, write for a free sample. Sow about 8 or 9 pounds per acre. 
Easy to get a catch with Lot ‘‘Diamond.” 
The cost of seeding is low. I am glad to recommend Lot “Diamond” to our 
customers and friends. Order this lot and if you are not pleased with it, kindly 
return the seed and I will see that your money is refunded promptly, including trans- 
portation charges. Order early while prices are low.
