Quality Seeds Produce Quality Vegetables 
VITAMINS AND HEALTH IN" 
VEGETABLES 
The past 4 years has brought a change in the diet 
of the American people. Through necessity, we 
have become heavier vegetable and fruit eaters. 
Many homes and the armed forces, who seldom 
bothered with vegetables other than potatoes, 
learned that fresh vegetables, when properly pre- 
pared, are an important and palatable part of the 
meal; also, that vegetables are the most healthful 
food. 
We can get from vegetables the full amount of 
all vitamins that we need. More than ever we have 
created a desire for fruits and vegetables and the 
per capita consumption will continue much higher 
than before the war. 
Vegetables and fruit have become main items 
in our diet. 
NECESSITY FOR GOOD SEEDS 
The cost of producing crops on account of labor, 
etc., is getting higher and higher. So good seeds, 
more than ever before, play a very important part, 
for with higher costs a failure is serious. It costs 
no more to produce a good crop from good seeds 
than a poor crop or a failure from poor seeds. So 
the first step every planter should take is to secure 
good quality seeds. 
The old saying, ‘Western Seeds for Western 
Growers" is a safe guide. Our seed is put up under 
the ‘Gold Seal’ trade mark, and it is your protec- 
tion in the garden and on the farm. 
We operate numerous farms and trial grounds 
throughout Colorado, Arizona and California, a 
good portion of which is devoted to seed production 
and to extensive field trials of the seed we sell. 
We have our own seed analyst and a seed test- 
ing laboratory. Every lot of seed we sell is tested 
for purity and germination. We do not guess. You 
can depend on Gold Seal Seeds. 
THE WESTERN SEED CO. gives no warranty, 
“express or implied, as to the productiveness of 
any seeds, plants or bulbs it sells and will not 
be in any way responsible for the crop. Our 
liability, in all instances, is limited to the pur- 
chase price. \ 
However, on account of the delays in trans- 
portation and the perishable nature of fresh 
vegetable and flower plants we do not guaran- 
tee that such plants will arrive in suitable 
condition.

store located at 1425 Fifteenth Street, Denver, Col- 
orado. We also have three warehouses comprising 
over 44,000 square feet of floor space where we 
try to carry a large and complete line of farm and 
garden seeds and supplies. However, many items 
are short, especially tools, implements and many 
varieties of Flower Seeds. 
PRICES 
on Vegetable and Flower Seed are postpaid unless 
otherwise noted. 
FIELD SEED PRICES 
Quantity prices on field seeds are not stated for 
the reason that they cannot be accurately deter- 
mined at the time the catalog is printed. As field 
seeds move in larger volume than garden seeds, 
stocks and markets are constantly changing. We, 
therefore, issue price lists to meet these conditions 
and they will be mailed to interested parties upon 
request. : 
Or, if you have an idea of the variety or kind 
and approximate amount of Field Seeds you may 
require, send us your list and we will, without 
obligation to you, gladly make Special F.O.B. or 
Delivered Prices. 
Our Field Seeds are described in this catalog on 
pages 76 to 86.
