You will find in our catalog the largest assortment of farm seeds of- 
fered by any seed house. However there are some items you may want 
that are not in this book. There are some in Alfalfa and Clovers for 
which there is very little demand in most of our principal trade area. 
If you will write us about any special needs we will do our utmost to 
secure them for you. Among the seeds we have in mind are such as 
State Certified Blue Tag Grimm, Registered Canadian or Certified Ladak 
Alfalfa, Cumberland Red Clover, Madrid Sweet Clover and Yellow Hop 
Clover. We would not make this offer on the many speCial range grasses 
whose use is often confined to rather limited areas, 
You may be sure that we stand ready to render seed service to you 
in every. possible way. The many connections we have in the seed 
trade enables us to know about stocks available throughout the nation. 
There are some crop varieties you may read about of which seeds are 
not yet available for distribution. We study many of these crops and 
endeavor to make seeds of the proven sort available to our trade as 
quickly as possible.

. You will notice that we devote a much large 
alog to farm seeds than other seed houses. 
our Garden and Nursery departments a 
equipped to serve you. It is true we do not show you as many beau- 
tiful colored pictures. The quality is just as much there as any of 
these expensive photographs show. Because we save on that expen- 
Sive printing you can get lower prices and better values. 
Look at the index column on the opposite page. You-can tellin a 
few seconds that we have large selections in both the garden and 
nursery lines. Since we do not devote so many pages it becomes 
_, necessary for us to be very careful in our selection of varieties. We 
_ select those which we consider only the very best available. This

» We are very desirous of giving 
our many customers in eastern and 
east centrak states the best possi- 
ble service. We also waft to save 
you as much money as possible 
on freight charges. Therefore we 
have made arrangements to have 
some of our lots of seed shipped 
from an Ohio point. It is not 
possible to include all of our seed 
in that service this year. Next 
year we hope to have complete 
stocks of all farm seeds. For this 
year it will be confined to those 
llems as are so isted on our Pink 
Price List. 
The prices f.o.b. this eastern 
point may be a little higher than 
at Clarinda. They will save eastern customers money over Clarinda 
prices however, freight considered, because you will have less 
freight to pay on orders shipped from this point. 
. The big thing we can give you by shipping from Ohio point 
is much quicker service. You @an get good truck, as well as rail 
service so specify truck shipment if that is what you prefer. 
Please order as early as possible if you want shipment from this 
eastern point so we may be sure to have ample stocks available. 
































The great bulk of our shipments move by freight. However your 
nearest town may not have a railroad. Many such towns are served by 
truck. Some towns have truck depots where people may so to pick uw 
their freight and pay transportation charges. It is easy to make truck 
shipments to those towns. 




In other towns there are no such depots. The drivers deliver their 
freight to various stores in town but do not have a way of delivering 
to individuals. Our customers at such points generally make arrange- 
ments to have the seed left at some oil station, garage or some other 
merchant with whom they trade. They pick it up there later, 
Tf you want a truck shipment to some place please make sure whether 
or not the truck company has a depot. If not be sure to specify to whom 
the shipment should be delivered. We will then address the shipment 
to you in care of that person or that place of business. 
Sometimes there is more than one truck line in a town. One may have 
a depot, the other not. If possible give us the name of the truck line 
which you would like to have make, delivery at your town,
