YEAR BY BUYING EARLY” 
Dear Friend: For the past twenty-three years I have been urging our customers to buy their seeds early. I believe 
early buying will save you money in the long run. This year, the most important factor of early buying is, you 
are sure of getting your seeds. Also, early orders are usually filled with the best quality of seeds. 
Seed stocks are not large this year. Some important seed crops were below normal. Several million 
pounds of different clovers and grasses were used on Lend Lease orders. Therefore, the supply of 
seeds is limited and you can expect firm prices. 
The O.P.A. regulations are still in force and high prices will be maintained on all important 
seeds under the regulations. I explained to you in our Catalog last year how these regula- 
tions work. Briefly, there is a ceiling for the producer or grower and a ceiling on re- 
tail prices to you, the consumer. There are certain margins of profit allowed to the 
big processors, wholesale seed houses or jobber and to country retail dealer or 
elevator. All of these margins are passed on to you. <As we buy quite a lot 
of seed direct from the country and sell direct to you, we eliminate 
some of these margin profits. If we buy seeds to a good advantage 
and sell to you a couple of dollars a bushel under the ceiling, it is 
legal to do so. 
I wish to call your attention to our low prices on other seeds not 
under the regulations, especially our Hybrid Corn. We receive 
many testimonials telling us our Hybrids are yielding as good or 
better than other high priced, highly advertised Hybrids. We give \ 
you a commission in lower prices. |= 2 ee 
I want to save you money and make you a satisfied customer. LON 
Yours Sincerely, 

EK. EK. ELDER, President. 
\RED CLOVER .. 
With Alsikeé Timothy - / U.S. 
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. 
You’ll Like the Quality and Savings 
Lot ‘‘Diamond” is new crop domestic northern grown seed. 
Has a good bright color. It has been recleaned and tested. Shows

it to be good dependable quality. If you are doubtful about the
