like they’H be in the spring, we are offering this down payment

ER FALL PRICES.

and send only 10% down to bind the deal. We’ll reserve the seed 
for you at these low fall prices and ship January Ist, when the 
balance is received. 
If it should happen that prices on what you ordered are lower 
January ist than what you paid (there’s little chance of this) 
we'll furnish the seed to you at the bowest price. 
This way, you can be sure of your seed supply and at a good 
low price. But, we cannot guarantee these prices after Dec. Ist 
or when lot is sold, so get your orders in as soon as you can, 
Brome Grass is Heaviest Yielding 
| Hay and Pasture Grass 
FALL IS IDEAL TIME TO SOW 
Fall is an ideal time to get a start of Brome Grass and once 
you have it on your farm, you will never want to be without 
it. Not only does it carry from 50 to 100% MORE livestock 
than bluegrass and yield 3 to 4 tons of hay per acre, but the 
pasture is more palatable and higher in feeding value than 
any other grass. It’s protein content alone is as high as alfalfa. 
Brome is extremely drought-resistant and. absolutely winter 
hardy. And Brome is the first grass green in the spring and 
it stays that way. all summer—giving you green pasture 
way into the fall. 
It can’ be sown any time up to Oct. 15 and make good 
growth yet this fall. If you don’t get it seeded by that date, 
wait until just before frost and sow it. It will come the 
first thing ‘in the spring. Usually 15 Ibs. is sown per acre 
either broadcast or drilled and then harrowed in lightly 
¥% inch) and then rolled. You can sow 
alfalfa on it in the spring (about 3 Ibs. per acre) for the 
perfect pasture combination of Brome and alfalfa together. 
But whether you sow it fall or next spring, have Brome 
(never over 4% to 
grass on your farm. It just can’t be beat. 
A Permanent Pasture Mix That Gan 
Be Sown This Fail 
Over in the price list, you will find listed our Gurney Fall 
h is a permanent pasture mix espe- 
cially designed for fall sowing. Many of you will need more 
pasture next year ard want to sow it this fall. This is the 
mixture for you. It is made up of 5 permanent and hardy 
grasses that will give you pasture next year all season 
long, and being a careful blend of several grasses, it is 
Pasture Mixture whic 
adapted to any and all soil types. 
It can be sown any time up to freezing at a rate of 
about 1 bushel to 4 acres and next spring, if you wish, you 
can add clovers or alfalfa to it. If you plan to do that, 
you need sow only 1 bushel to 5 acres this fall. 
You are going to need all the hay and pasture you can 
get next year, with livestock at the prices they are. Get 
that pasture sowed this fall. 
These Field Seed Prices Can’t 
Last Very Long 
We’ve purposely set the field seed prices on the list at 
right just as low as we possibly. could. We want you early 
advantage you ean for buying 
buyers to have every 
early. 
However, we cannot guarantee any of the prices for 
any given period of time. If you put off ordering, it may 
be that the price will have advanced, for all markets are 
strong. We will make every effort to hold these prices 
as long as we can, but we can’t guarantee them for any 
certain period of time. 
That means, if you want to take advantage of our low 
fall prices, you should get as much of your field seed 
order as you possibly can in right away. The more you 
order this fall and have ready for spring, the more yeu 
are going to save, this year. 
All Gurney Field Seed Must 
Please You or Money Back 
Keep in mind that every lot of Gurney field seed 
you buy must absolutely please you in every way, or 
you can return it to us and get all your money back 
at once. You have the privilege of examining the seed 
when it arrives and if it doesn’t suit you in every 
particular, there’s no deal. 
We can make a guarantee like that simply because 
GURNEY SEED IS THE FINEST SEED YOU CAN 
BUY. No matter whether you pay twice as much as 
our low “Direct To You” prices, you won’t get better 
seed for the quality listed. 
Every lot of seed is carefully tested for germina- 
tien and purity before it is cleaned. Then, after care- 
ful cleaning on the latest improved mills, it is tested 
both for purity and germination again, and, if nec- 
essary, recleaned. Expert seedsmen make sure at all 
times that only the finest, highest quality seed is 
ever sent out from Gurney’s. 
You may pay more elsewhere, but you won’t get 
finer seed than at Gurney’s. Don’t take a chance en 
doubtful seed. Buy direct from a seed house and be 
safe.
