E FIND ourselves with the rest of the nation today, 
concerned with the greatest and most complete war 
that the world has ever known. Every individual and 
every group of people must extend to the very utmost 
their efforts to further our cause in the way in which each 
one is best fitted to serve, and those who produce food on 
the farm and in the field have a very important part to 
perform in feeding our armed forces, ourselves and much 
of the rest of the world. To our mind, therefore, it is vitally 
important to raise, prepare and collect the seed which 
has such an essential part in the production of food. 
Therefore, we offer with some degree of pride this, our 
60th Catalog, in which we list the many items originated 
or introduced by our firm which are particularly adapted 
to our Northern Great Plains and which have first ap- 
| "peared in the many annual Catalogs which we have sent 
aS m out through the years. 
™ In view of this 60th Anniversary of our Catalog you 
will, we are sure, overlook our pride and pleasure in the 
event and we hope that a brief story of and a few facts 
about the “Pioneer Seed House” will be of some interest 
to all our many customers. 
Oscar H. Will came to Bismarck in 1881 and in 1882 
established his own Seed, Nursery and Greenhouse busi- 
ness. From the small greenhouse and office on 5th street | 
where Oscar Will could do practically all the necessary Peter Roether
