THE FARMER SEED & NURSERY CO. desires satisfaction for every 
customer, 
Complaints, if justified, will be adjusted to the amount remitted. 
However, since the results from seeds, trees, bulbs, or plants are subject to 
hazards of weather, climate, soil and cultural practices, over which we have no 
FARMER SEED & NURSERY CoO. 
control, THE FARMER SEED & NURSERY CO. will not be in any way 
responsible for the crop. Our liability, in all instances, is limited to the purchase 
price of the seed. If the purchaser does not accept goods on these terms, they 
are to be returned at once. All prices are F.O.B. Faribault, unless marked ‘“‘ppd.””

LOT ‘VIGOR’? HYBRID CORN 
This “Special Lot’’ has exactly the same inherit- 
ance, germination and purity as our No. 1 Cer- 
tified Seed. It consists of the thick kernels, 
graded from our Certified Hybrids. These 
“thicks” are evenly graded, and germinate 90% 
or better. Nothing finer for drilling, for silage, 
or for “hogging off.’? Use your medium or small 
plates. 
A properly proportioned blend of selected varie- 
ties, which has proven very popular. These 
blends provide maximum insurance against 
periods of adverse weather, since there is enough 
variation in maturity so that only a part of the 
' erop reaches a critical period at any one time. 
Many items are short this year. Transporta- 
tion service is slower, due to overloaded railroads.
