For Easier and Better Gardening 
For Better Germination and More Rapid Plant Growt 
These "Super Seeds" Are Cold Resistant 
They Can Be Planted 2 Weeks Earlier Than Regular Seeds 
This new and improved method of seed treatment was introduced by us last year. 
want to take this opportunity to thank our customers for the fine reports they have 
on their wonderful success with our Pelleted Seeds. ‘3s 
For new customers who have not had the opportunity to try them, Pelleted Seeds are seeds 
that have been coated with layers of beneficial and protective materials that encourage bet- 
ter germination, give the young plants nourishment for more dependable and faster growth 
and protect them from diseases in the early stages of growth. The pelleting process leaves 
the seeds encased in smooth pellets that are uniform in size and much larger than the 
original seeds. They are, therefore, easier to plant and can be properly spaced. By 
It is interesting to know that a good many thousand acres of Western range land are ~ 
being planted to pelleted seed by airplane. Experimental plantings of pelleted coniferous © 
tree seeds are also being made on burnt-over forest land. es 
This new method of seed treatment is a proven success and we are sure you will be 
pleased with the results. 5, 
NOTICE The varieties of Pelleted Seeds listed on this page are the only ones we are offering this ; 
season, Due to the expense and quantity of seed required in the pelleting process, we are not 
able to pellet other varieties in less than 50-lb. quantities. As soon as the demand warrants it, we will add 
other varieties to our list. A } 
The number of seeds indicated for a given quantity, as listed below, is only approximate-and will vary with © 
each batch of seed pelleted. This is particularly true of flower seeds, as different colors of the same variety 
will vary in size, but in all cases the size of the pellets is sufficiently uniform to give even distribution when

the most dependable and profitable farm crops. It will grow almost anywhere, North, South, East or West, in wet

drought, this strain of Proso saved the day. Many farmers would have grown no winter feed at all had it no!
