Established 1900... . Forty-two Years of Service 
Through the medium of this catalog the Mark Means Company sends greetings to all customers 
old and new, as well as to prospective customers for the season of 1942. 
For the past forty-one years we have been giving satisfactory seed service to the farmers, growers 
and home gardeners of the Northwest. The unsolicited testimonials we receive each year from satisfied 
users of our seeds, are very much appreciated, and we are always glad to have them. 
The number of our customers increases yearly, and we wish to thank all our friends for past favors, 
and trust we shall have the pleasure of receiving your orders again, not only this year but in the years 
to follow. When you buy our ‘’Lewis-Clark’’ quality in either field or garden seeds, you are assured of 
receiving those suitable for successful crops in your locality. 
PLEASE NOTE: Most of the Garden and Field seeds were very short crops this past fall on account 
of the unfavorable weather and a few items were a complete failure. Besides this a very considerable 
quantity of seed has been and is being shipped out of the country under the Lease-Lend act. We there- 
fore urge that you place your order as soon as possible—don’t put it off until later—-for when our 
present supply of some items has been sold, it will be very difficult for us to replenish our stock. 
Glance through this catalog now; fill out the order sheet and mail it to us without delay and we will 
fill it to the best of our ability.

IT PAYS TO BUY THE BEST 
Once in a while a prospective customer will say ’‘I can 
buy the same VARIETY of seed elsewhere for less than 
you ask.’’ We do not doubt this, but when we ask nim 
about the QUALITY of the cheaper seed he usually answers, 
“Well—lI don‘t know about that; | didn’t ask and they 
didn’t say.” 
Upon investigation we invariably find that the lower 
priced seed is certainly cheap in every respect. 
We always aim to keep our prices as low as possible for 
the high quality of the seed we offer, and although the 
initial cost to you of our tested seed may be a little higher, 
the crop results prove that seed purchased from us was 
worth several dollars per hundred pounds more in com- 
parison with the so-called: ‘‘cheap”’ seed. 
When ordering our LEWIS-CLARK QUALITY seed, you 
can depend on getting seed that is acclimated and will 
give you very satisfactory results. This is true of both 
our field and garden seed. 
The strict state seed laws as well as the Federal Seed 
Act now in effect make it imperative that our buying and 
cleaning be done by experts. If you wish to make com- 
parisons, we will gladly furnish samples of field seed in 
which you are interested. 
Remember—IT PAYS TO BUY THE BEST, so when order- 
ing, insist on our LEWIS-CLARK QUALITY, from your local 
dealer or senc| order direct to us.

FRESH VEGETABLES 
From Your Own Garden—When You Want Them 
One of the nicest features about your own garden is that the vegetables are there when you want them— 
fresh and full of flavor. When you raise your own, they taste better 

BUY YOUR SEEDS EARLY 
You will gain a distinct advantage by arranging early for 
your seed supply, as orders must be filled carefully 
IMPORTANT 
Owing to fluctuations in market prices it may be neces- 
sary to change some of the prices quoted herein during

at prices named, seeds will be sent equivalent to the 
money received, figuring the order at current prices. 

HOW TO SHIP 
Always state how you want heavy seed shipped, by 
freight, parcel post or express, and if your station is a 
prepay point, don’t forget to add enough money to take 
care of the charges. Should you not receive the goods you 
ordered within a reasonable time, write us regarding the 
matter and we will gladdy send a tracer after your ship- 
ment. 
We deliver FREE by parcel post, up to 3rd zone, all 
Vegetable and Flower Seed, unless otherwise stated. All 
other items are F. O. B. Lewiston, and postage, freight or
