1947 VINE SEED PRICE STRUCTURE 
We give no warranty, express or implied, as to the productiveness of any seeds or bulbs we sell and we will not be in 
any way responsible for the crop. Our liability in all instances is limited to the purchase price of the seed. 
Our 1947 Vine Seed Production Contracts have been mailed, If 
you haven't received yours, please WIRE COLLECT for a copyl 
This year has probably been as difficult a one’ for us in es 
tablishing our prices as any year during the war. We have 
had repeated meetings with representative groups of our ran- 
chers in an effort to satisfactorily thresh this problem out. 
In most instances, we have been able to hold prices to last 
yearts levels despite increases in certain popular competi- 
tive crops such as Sugar Beets, This has been the resultof 
a very considerable amount of work on the part of our field- 
men and is represented in our prices as outlined in our 1947 
Contract Price List. 
As you will note, for the most part, our prices are identi-= 
cally the same as our 1946 Contract Priccs. There have boon 
a (few changes on scveral items, but they are not large in 
any instancce 
It is our firm opinion, based on a comprchensive survey of 
our several production arcas, thot Vine Sccds in no instanc- 
Ca Voila your, Wilts 66 prodyced) ata» lowcr figure . than. in 
1946, While we have statcd above that wo have held our 
prices to about the same icvel as 1947, yot it could develop 
due to the rather uncasy fecling of many of our ranchers, 
that this situation will not remain static. In other words, 
before we have placcod adequate acreage to cover our requiree 
ments, it is conceivable we may be forced to initiate add- 
itional increases. We hope that this will not be the case, 
and will work strongly towards mainta lining a statis condit- 
1LONe 
We offer the above as a survey of the situation as we see it 
and for your information in attempting to draw a picture of 
the future price structure, This year, as much as any war 
year, we hope you will be able to forecast your requirements 
and contract early}! 
Yours very truly, 
LRR:AH LAWRENCE ROBINSON & SONS
