IF YOU WANT HIGH QUALITY SEED 
As in each of the past 75 years we are again furnishing noxious weed free, 
carefully cleaned, higher quality seed than can generally be obtained else- 
where. Premium alfalfa and clover seed under price ceilings need only show 
a purity of 99.25%. This does not meet our ideas of top quality so that 
essentially every pound of legume seed we get is heavily recleaned. That’s 
the reason tags on Scotts Seed show purities of above 99.60% and no noxious 
weeds such as dodder in lespedeza or the clovers. 
In times when prices are high and supplies limited, much undesirable legume 
and grass seeds, poorly cleaned grains and inferior hybrid seed corn are 
offered for sale. Low priced seed always has something wrong with it. In 
all of our years of experience we have never seen that statement disproven. 
ALFALFA and CLOVERS - While totat supplies are considered barely ade- 
quate,we have plenty of red clover, alsike, sweet clover and ladino for 
all of our old customers and some new ones too. No one can get alfalfa 
from all states nor much of the extreme northern grown seed as the crop is 
figured at 20% of normal. But we do have good supplies of Kansas, Colorado 
and Utah seed, also will again have limited amounts of Certified Cumberland 
and Midland Red Clover in February at $31.25 per bushel. 
HYBRID CORN - We’1l soon be ready to make shipment on most hybrids. Scotts 
corn is graded for easy, trouble free planting. Appearance may not be quite 
equal to that of last year because of the summer drought but there is no let- 
up in preparation or in seeing that the corn will produce as expected. 
SOYBEANS - The black beans contain a slight mixture of yellows which is not 
objectionable for hay purposes. Other beans are as described and we only 
wish we had enough Lincolns to fill all demands. Plant these in rows at 45 
to 60 lbs per acre to help stretch seed supplies. Yields won’t suffer. 
GRAINS - The uncertified Vicland oats are from certified seed and are 
essentially variety pure. All oats and barley are nice and bright, well 
cleaned and high in germination. 
MEADOW MIXTURES - The same quality seed as listed in the various 
separate items but simply mixed for convenience in sowing. More customers 
are using the meadow and pasture mixtures each year. WJ Renner, manager 
of Allen Farms near Springfield, Ohio says "I want 900 lbs of that mixture 
just like I got last year. It really came through the drought". 
We suggest that you do not delay sending your order.
