1946 SEED ORDER EARLY 
SS RGAIN | SUGGEST wil5 VO 
| EARLY BUYING THIS YEAR 
After four years of war we are all trying to adjust ourselves to peace-time conditions. It is not as 
easy as it might seem, for the Farmers and Industry to face reconversion problems. Anyway, we all 
have to buckle down and make the best of it. 
Some of the principal seeds we sell are still under the 0.P.A. regulations. Again this past 
year there was a short crop of Alfalfa, Red Clover, Alsike and Sweet Clover These con- 
ditions made it difficult to obtain sufficient stocks. While we were more fortunate than 
some seed houses, we doubt if there will be any surplus. With limited stocks you 
can expect firm prices during the spring season. The above crops were short 
the past two years and the demand was heavy. Millions of pounds of grasses 
and clovers were exported on lend-lease shipments. Consequently, there 
was scarcely any carry over, which created a real shortage. 
Some grasses, millets and forage crops were again short the past 
year. Hybrid Corn stocks are not large. I want to take care of 
our customers to the best of our ability. We have priced Alfalfa, 
Clovers and Timothy under the ceiling, as it has always been our 
policy to save money for our customers, 
The labor situation is still somewhat of a problem. With seed 
supplies not too large, I am asking our customers to co-operate 
by ordering as early as possible this year. We will try our best 
to take care of your business. Hoping to serve you, I am

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.
