BUY DIRECT 
AND SAVE MORE MONEY 
Dear Friend: The above statement about buying direct and saving more money is a 100% correct 
I do not have to tell you thousands of customers who have been buying our seeds for several years 
how much money you save. Over 70% of our business each year comes from satisfied customers 
who have bought our fine seeds and saved money. The seed markets this year are practically 
the same as last year. Some higher and some slightly lower. Alfalfa crop was short in large 
broducing states. Timothy seed crop is shortest in 14 years, Red Top crop shortest in 30 
years. Some other grasses were below normal. Several million pounds of Alsike Clover 
Red Clover, Timothy and other grasses have been exported through government — 
agencies, which reduces the supply. I am trying to hold down our prices as I 
know that is the only way to get more business and I am not going to sacrifice 
quality to get your order. Some of the largest and most successful farmers 
in Illinois and the corn belt use our seeds. They want clean seeds, but 
they also want to save money the same as you and [. Every bag of 
seed we ship you is tagged showing the purity and sermination. How 
do we save you money? We handle millions of bounds of farm 
seeds each year. We buy in carloads direct from producing dis- 
tricts. We sell direct to you and cut out the jobbers and 
wholesalers profits. Cut out the middleman’s profit this 
year by sending us your order—our Money Back Guarantee 
on page 4 protects you. I want your order so let: us hear 
from you while we can still save you money.

RED CLOVER 
With Alsikeé Timothy < - 


A combination that is hard to b sat. Most 
farmers add some Alsike and Timothy to Red 
Clover for a well balanced seedine. Lote Dia-
