We have been going in rather heavily for Mother Goose at our house lately 
so you’1l recognize the above as borrowed property. Incidentally more 
and more home-owners in referring to Scotts Lawn Seed are crying, 
"I want some." 
This growing demand for Scotts Seed is due to its superior quality re- 
sulting from skilled recleaning. We are removing weeds from seed which 
even ten years ago could not be taken out. 
How do we do it? By different processes of screening, blowing, gravity 
machines, tilting belts, moist canvas - new ideas applied to old equipment 
and old ideas applied to new. It is a science just like your business or any 
other; reasonably simple if you know how and terribly confusing if you don’t. 
Then there must be a big difference in seed quality? Yes, a startling dif- 
ference; as much as between a masterpiece and the beginners copy; as much as 
between mother’s cooking and the hash from a third rate restaurant. 
Does every firm selling seed do the same things to it? Not one in a hundred 
attempts any of its own cleaning. Not one in five hundred has adequate 
equipment to do a thorough job. And not one in a thousand cleans seed and 
then distributes it to the individual home owner. We do not know of another 
concern whose operations parallel ours. 
aan The purest seed costs less in the long run. There is no doubt about that. 
You sow less of it and you sow what you are willing to reap. When impure 
seed is used chaff and weed seeds are scattered profusely; one is pure waste 
and the other brings lawn disaster. 
Lawns have a great appeal this year. They are the home front affording not 
only beauty but a release from present day pressure. A Scott Lawn is more 
than ever a prized possession. 
Cordially yours
