2 Economy Seed Special, Dec. to Jan. 16, 1945

“A WORD FROM E. E. ELDER, President” 
Dear Friend: A year ago about this time we mailed out our “EHcon- 
omy Seed Special” like this booklet. There was such a great response 
from customers, I decided to make an early winter mailing again 
this year. Many of our regular customers like to secure their seeds 
early. ‘ 
We are still under O.P.A, regulations which cover the 5 major 
items. A shortage still exists on some seeds, especially Alfalfa and 
Alsike. The alfalfa situation is really serious. Farmers will not be 
able to get alfalfa of certain northern origins. Many seedsmen are 
looking for Alsike Clover, as they do not have enough for their re- 
quirements. Red Clover and Sweet Clover crops were about the same 
as 1943, so there will not be a surplus. 
Your local dealer is allowed to charge you the ceiling price, plus 
the freight he had to pay. I am pricing our seeds so that after you 
pay the freight, they are in most cases lower than your local dealer’s 
prices. Friends, I suggest early buying again this year. I appreciate 
the confidence of our customers during the past 22 years. 
Yours respectfully, H. EH. ELDER. 
IDAHO RED GLOVER 
Premium Grade $26.40 bu. 
Over 99.30 Pure—New Crop—Idaho Grown 
This is the very highest quality according to the O.P.A. grading on Red Clover. 
The premium grade brings a dollar a hundred over standard grade. I do not be- 
lieve there is one seed house in five that can offer you this high quality. It is our 
Pinnacle Brand Extra Fancy. We are selling it under the ceiling. We challenge any 
dealer to offer you a better quality of this origin at a lower price. This quality is 
not plentiful. 4 
A bushel of this seed will go further. You can sow a pound or two less of this 
Premium grade per acre than you need to sow of seed grown by some local farmer 
that had been cleaned over a hand mill. Sowing a bushel of clover poorly cleaned 
might cost you more than $25.00 to get weeds out of your field, 
Order Premium Grade Idaho now. We bought 1500 bushels of this clover from one 
shipper. We have orders on file for over 700 bushels. You will find this Clover will 
pay im the long run.
