ST. LOUIS SEED COMPANY —‘'Pure and Sure’’ Seeds 
1949 PRICE LIST 
Our annual catalogue is not being issued this year,due to the great advance in the 
cost of printing such a book, and the constant changing of prices, over which we have 
no control, on many of the articles that we stock. 
We are offering this price list for 1949 and believe you will find it contains most 
of the items that were listed in our large catalogue. However,we shall be happy to an- 
swer all inquiries received on any items not listed herein. 
We shall continue to supply "PURE AND SURE SEEDS" which means that our customers 
receive seeds which have been tested under varying conditions prior to sale; thus re- 
ducing to a minimum the possibility of failure. 
Serving the market gardener, farmer and amateur for years, we have always kept be- 
fore us the importance of "PURE AND SURE SEEDS" of the highest quality. 
That we have 
succeeded in our efforts to furnish seeds of this high quality is shown by the very 
remarkable loyal support on the part of our customers, many of whom started to trade 
with us years ago and are with us yet. 
To the old and new customers alike, we are sincerely grateful.

SUGGESTIONS FOR ORDERING 
WE WISH TO IMPRESS UPON YOU THE ADVANTAGE 
OF EARLY ORDERING. It is not only a con- 
venience to us, but it is also for your 
sake that we request this. Avoid the 
spring rush and have your seeds when you 
want them. They will, not spoil, and the 
delay necessarily attendant during the 
spring will be eliminated. You will not 
be waiting for your seeds when you should 
be planting. Our service will please you 
even during the busy season. 
REMITTANCES should be made by Post Office 
Money Orders, Drafts or Express Money Or- 
ders. Where it is not possible to obtain 
these, the letter should be registered. 
We cannot guarantee receipt of money sent 
in any other way. Goods desired C.0O.D., 
must be accompanied by a partial remit- 
tance to guarantee acceptance. 
In filling out your orders always give 
SHIPPING DIRECTIONS and write NAME and 
ADDRESS distinctly on each order. 
PARCEL POST: Customers on R.F.D. routes 
and beyond express delivery will aid us 
by stating: "Goods reach us by Parcel 
Post only," to avoid mistakes in sending 
by express. 
EXPRESS and FREIGHT CHARGES on large 
quantities are cheaper than parcel post. 
We charge no cartage to depots or the ex- 
press company offices, nor do we charge 
for boxes, packing or small muslin bags.

PRICES QUOTED in this price list are NET. 
We reserve the right to advance prices 
WITHOUT NOTICE should current conditions 
require it. 
PLEASE NOTE - ABOUT WARRANTING SEEDS 
NON-WARRANTY. Most of the failures with seeds, plants and bulbs are due to causes en- 
tirely beyond our control, such as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, too deep or 
too shallow planting, etc., which renders it impossible for us to guarantee success, and 
although we take all possible care to supply only such goods as will,under proper con- 
ditions, produce satisfactory results, we still give no warranty, express or implied, 
as to productiveness of any of the seeds, plants or bulbs we send out, and will not be 
in any way responsible for the crop. Our liability in all instances is limited to the 
purchase price of the seeds, plants or bulbs and every order for articles named in this 
price list will be executed on these conditions only. 
It must, however, be plain to 
everyone who gives the matter the slightest thought that it is to our best interests 
to send out only such stock as will not only grow, but prove true to name and descrip- 
tion.
