EOWERR RATES 
ON HhREIGHD 
Grass and Clover seeds take third class rate. 
Corn are carried at 5th class rate except west of 
Illinois and northwestern states where the rate is 
4th class. Your freight agent can give you rate 
from Chicago. Or write us for rates. Chicago 
rates are low. Add the freight to our prices and 
there is a big savings over your local dealer’s 
prices. All our quotations include bags free. 
This report for our Catalog is made the first of December, just before the copy 
goes to the printer. ‘The Alfalfa crop was very short. One northern state pro- 
duced 5 million pounds less than in 1943. Many other states were short. Will not 
be enough to supply demand. Red Clover is about same as previous year, but no 
surplus. Alsike Clover was much less and there is a large shortage of the better 
grades... Sweet. Clover crop was far below normal. Some seed being brought in 
from Canada, which is fine quality. The Timothy crop was good and no short- 
age. These estimates are based on government reports and believe they are 
fairly accurate. The short crops were caused mostly by unfavorable weather. 
On account of shortages and transportation problems, order early. 
“Buy Now—Prices Low” 
The fact that seed supplies are not large indicates a firm position in the seed 
market. Prices will advance on most seeds, rather than decline. We were fortu- 
nate in accumulating a.large stock of fine ‘Seeds in 1944. We bought these seeds 
to very good advantage. - This permits us to undersell competitors. Present con- 
ditions point to higher prices. Out quality and prices talk for themselves. Don’t 
wait until time to sow and pay some country dealer two profits. Protect your- 
self by buying now when prices are low. Transportation conditions have slowed 
up, so it is wise to order early this year. 
It is easy to buy from us. Write your name and address clearly. Put.down 
the kind and grade of seed that you want. Specify the amount you desire and 
enclose remittance to cover the price of same. Send your remittance in the form 
of Bank Draft, Cashier Check, Postal. or Express Money Order or Personal 
Check, whichever is most convenient. 
Give name of town.where your freight station is located if different than your postof- 
fice. If there is no Agent at freight station, or it is a prepaid station, add money to re- 
mittance for freight. Or, we will bill you for freight. Freight rate per 100 lbs. is much 
less than half of express or parcel post rates. If you desire parcel post shipment, add 
money to cover postage. If you do not know amount of postage, ask your Postmaster or 
advise us you guarantee to pay later.

so your seed can come by freight as that saves 
you considerable. On account of our superior
