Established 1900 .. . Forty-five Years of Service 
Through the medium of this catalog the Mark Means Company sends greetings to all customers 
old and new, as well as to prospective customers for the season of 1945. 
For the past forty-four years we have been giving satisfactory seed service to the farmers, growers 
and home gardeners of the Northwest. The unsolicited testimonials we receive each year from satisfied 
users Of our seeds, are very much appreciated, and we are always glad to have them. 
The number of our customers increases yearly, and we wish to thank all our friends for past favors, 
and trust we shall have the pleasure of receiving your Orders again, not only this year but in the years 
to follow. When you buy our “/Lewis-Clark’” quality in either field or garden seeds, you are assured of 
receiving those suitable for successful crops in your locality. | 
PLEASE NOTE: Several of the garden and field seed items were short crops this past fall. We look 
for considerable increase in demand, especially for Vegetable seed for VICTORY GARDENS. Besides this 
a very considerable quantity of seed has been and is being shipped out of the country under the Lease- 
Lend act. We therefore urge that you place your order as soon as possible—don’t put it off until later— 
for when our present supply of some items has been sold, it will be very difficult for us to replenish our 
stock. Glance through this catalog now; fill out the order sheet and mail it to us without delay and we 
will fill it to the best of our ability.
