Established 1900 . . . Forty-six 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 1946. “ 
For the past forty-four years we have been giving satisfactory seed service to the farmers, growers 
and home gardeners of the Northwest. The unsolicitéd 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: Some of the garden and field seed items were short crops this past fall. We there- 
for 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.

IT PAYS TO BUY THE BEST 
We always aim to keep our prices as low as possible for 
the high quality of the seed we offer, and although the 
initial cost to you of our tested seed may be a little higher, 
the crop results prove that seed purchased from us was 
worth several dollars per hundred pounds more in com- 
parison with the so-called ‘‘cheap’’ seed. 
When ordering our LEWIS-CLARK QUALITY seed, you 
can depend on getting seed that is acclimated and will 
give you very satisfactory results. This is true of both 
our field and garden seed. 
The strict state seed laws as well as the Federal Seed 
Act now in effect make it imperative that our buying and 
cleaning be done by experts. If you wish to make com- 
parisons, we will gladly furnish samples of field seed in 
which you are interested. 
Remember—IT PAYS TO BUY THE BEST, so when order- 
ing, insist on our LEWIS-CLARK QUALITY, from your local 
dealer or send order direct to us.
