WE CAN SAVE a 
YOU MORE MONEY THIS’ YEAR 
Dear Friend: I stand squarely behind the above statement. Yes, sir, check our prices with prices offered by other 
seedsmen. You will agree I am giving you facts. Thousands of good farmers buy direct from us every ‘year 
and save 10% to 30%. When seeds are high like this year, we save you more dollars. The high prices are 
not due to the war. Short crops were the principal reason. Alfalfa was a very short crop, Caused by 
weather conditions which also accounts for the short crop in Red Clover, Alsike, Sweet Clover and 
Sudan Grass. 
Considering the higher prices of grains, livestock and other farm products, farm seeds are 
not high. In the spring of 1938, Red Clover was-selling around $6.00 per bushel higher 
than our price today. Alfalfa was selling around $2.00 lower. I believe every 
farmer is in a better position to pay present seed prices than during the past three — 
years when seed markets were lower. 
We are mailing out thousands of these Catalogs in January. We have 
large stocks of seed and are going to hold down prices as long as 
stocks last. There may be an acute shortage developed in some 
seeds later in the spring. I am, therefore, asking our customers 
to get in their order a little earlier this year. You also appreciate 
the fact that transportation is a little slower which is another 
good reason for ordering earlier. 
I call your attention to our Hybrid Corn on pages 17 to 20. Our 
prices will save you $2.00 to $3.00 per bushel. We don’t pay 
agents $1.00 to $1.50 per bushel commission. We give you com- 





















mission in lower prices. Friends, I want your order this year. > (ay

REDCLOVER . 
With Alsike€ Timothy - 
A combination that is hard to beat. Most 
farmers add some Alsike and Timothy to Red 
Clover for a well balanced seeding. Lot ‘“‘Dia- 
mond” is composed of 50% to 55% of Red Clover 
and Alsike Clover and the balance fancy Tim- 
othy seed. Much more Red Clover than Alsike. 
A very 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 addition to the Timothy. A fine seeding at 
a very low cost.
