DEAR SCOTT CUSTOMER: 
A holiday season has again gone by and, while we had a big time with 
the children decorating the Christmas tree and opening presents, we don’t 
feel so gay as we realize we’re a year older and don’t have much to show 
for it. What will 1949 bring? We hope peace and good-will and at least a 
comfortable living for everyone. Also not too many disappointments or family 
sorrows. 
Now it’s time to go ahead and get seed ordered for the new meadows, 
the corn or oats crop and other items that you may need. A lot of our seed is 
on hand ready to ship and practically all of it will be ready by the latter part 
of January. Maybe you ought to try one or two things you haven’‘t used be- 
fore, as ladino, brome, certified clover or alfalfa or different oats or corn. 
| suppose we never miss talking about the quality of SCOTTS Farm Seeds. 
But when year after year farmers keep buying a part or all of their seed from 
SCOTTS we feel sure it must be doing a good job for them. What is more, 
many say they have the best crops in their neighborhoods. 
Of course, occasionally we do have a complaint. Sometimes it’s our fault, 
sometimes it’s weather or soil conditions, and sometimes it is something nei- 
ther the customers nor we can help. But about one complaint per thousand 
orders is just enough to keep us on our toes and working, and that’s a good 
thing for you as well as ourselves. 
Some growers and handlers of hybrid seed corn are offering and will 
offer corn at cut rate prices. A lot of it will be good but we think over the 
long pull you get just about what you pay for. A saving of 50 cents or less 
per acre on seed is hardly worth taking a chance on. You know that SCOTTS 
Hybrid Seed Corn has had everything done for it that is humanly possible to give 
you a good corn crop; that we’ve been handling good seeds for more than 
75 years and expect to be right here the rest of this year as well as next with 
quality farm seeds. 
We still believe farmers interested in good crops are interested in high 
germinating, clean, noxious-weed-free seed. At least we get a lot of satisfac- 
tion in trying to always have the best seed available for you. 
Sincerely yours, 
THE SCOTT FARM SEED COMPANY.
