Market Conditions 
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 normal. 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 1945. 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.
