Gentlemen: 
For the past several years the demand for Big Bluestem, Litile Bluestem, Sideoats Grama, 
Indian and Switch Grass has been far greater than the supply. During 1948 conditions 
were ideal to produce the most excellent crops of these seed in history. The rains came at 
the right time to make the crops, and dry weather set in at harvest time which permitted 
the growers to harvest a bumper crop. 
We have spent a considerable amount of time in determining the best method to mar- 
ket these seed at the lowest cost to the consumer. 
In that these grasses are in demand throughout our territory and are usually planted 
together, we have decided to sell the seed as a mixture. This will eliminate a considerable 
amount of cost, which would be necessary to add if the grasses were sold separately. 
We have been able to contract a considerable amount of these seed which are being 
harvested by experienced harvesters. Subject to final tests, we are expecting the mixture 
to run approximately as follows: 
20% Little Bluestem 
70% Big Bluestem 
10% Sideoats Grama, Indian and Switch Grass. 
We are attaching descriptions of these grasses, and enclosing a business reply card to 
be used in booking your requirements of this grass seed mixture. We will book, subject to 
final tests of purity and germination being satisfactory, for delivery during the next 30 days. 
Your wholesale cost on the above mixture will be $29.90 per hundred, FOB the nearest As- 
grow branch to you. Even though we have purchased a large stock, the demand is such 
that we must make our quotation subject to prior sale and further confirmation. 
If you do not have a descriptive catalogue on Field, Pasture Grass and Soil Improve- 
ment Crops, giving information on selected Asgrow seeds, we would appreciate very much 
your writing us and we will gladly mail you a copy. You will find many other seeds listed 
in this catalogue, on which we will quote you on the quantity you are interested in pur- 
chasing. 
We sincerely hope that you will be able to sell to your customers this grass seed mix- 
ture and are looking forward to receiving your booking covering the quantity that you 
feel you will sell. 
Yours very truly, 
ASSOCIATED SEEDS, INC.
