To Our Friends and 
Customers 
We are pleased to present our 23rd Annual Seed Catalog and wish to express our appreciation for 
their patronage to our customers and friends, many of whom we have supplied with their seed 
requirements throughout the years. 
The crop growing season of 1944 as a whole was considerably better than anticipated last summer 
and most seed crops were fairly satisfactory. In some sections the drought cut the yields and in others 
the excess moisture prevented the filling and harvesting of a seed crop particularly Alfalfa Seed in 
the section west of the Mississippi River. 
There is an acute shortage of Alfalfa Seed and Alsike while Red Clover due to the Government 
Seed Saving Plan is in better shape than last year. Practically all items of Farm Seeds however are 
being sold at ceiling prices by the farmer grower. We anticipate a shortage of practically all Clovers 
at planting time. 
Our prices on most varieties of Garden Seeds are reduceca this season and with the ration point 
values in force again on canned vegetables, it appears that there should be an increase in home garden- 
ing. We can supply you again with our High Quality Garden Seeds. 
All Seeds are under OPA regulations and are priced accordingly at Ceilings or Less. Most items 
are listed at considerably under OP A Ceilings.
