The 6.1. F. 
Need Service 
HROUGH their G.L.F. Seed Service, 
* Northeastern farmers are provided 
with the best seed that can be had — 
adapted seed of known origin. To get 
- that kind of seed, G.L.F.. seedmen operate 
across the country in eighteen northern 
states. 
Careful Selection 
Early each summer G.L.F. seedmen 
scout the various seed crop producing 
sections of the country and make their 
estimate of probable production and dis- 
cover where the best seed is growing 
that year. These surveys are of great 
value in estimating crop prospects and 
enable G.L.F. to obtain adapted seed for 
patrons at the lowest possible prices. 
‘In late summer actual seed selection 
starts. The seedmen move from area to 
area as seed is harvested. They purchase 
only from approved areas where they 
can obtain high quality seed that is free 
from noxious weeds, and adapted to our 
hardy Northeastern conditions. Being in 
the right place at the right time and 
knowing the market trend permits 
G.L.F. to make good buys for patrons. 
Efficient Processing 
G.L.F.’s retail seed prices are favor- 
ably effected by “know-how” in clean- 
ing and processing by trained men with 
the best of modern equipment plus many 
unique efficiencies in plant operations 
that cut down labor and speed-up proc- 
essing. However, in both processing 
and procuring G.L.F. seeds, quality is 
never sacrificed for price. 
The G.L.F. Seed Service checks and 
examines every lot of seed for: 
PURITY—To prevent weed con- 
tamination. 
COLOR & QUALITY—Indicates ori- 
gin and inherited vigor and vitality. 
& CRACKED OR BROKEN SEEDS—To 
eliminate seed that will not grow, 
or produce only weak sprouts. 
A GRADING—To enable more uni- 
form sowing. 
ce TEST WEIGHT— Large, heavy seeds 
produce sturdy plants. 
(6) OTHER CROP SEEDS—To prevent 
crop mixtures. 
GERMINATION—Only seeds which 
grow are useful.
