GOOD SEEDS AND GOOD FARMS 
For 53 years Springfield Seed Company has advocated the planting of good seeds. Even before 
the state laws required it, purity and germination certificates were attached to the bags of “Star Brand” 
seeds we sent out. Quality pays in seeds perhaps beiter than anything you use. Weeds rob farmers 
of millions of dollars each year. 



The fuiure of agriculture, as well as the welfare of our country, depends upon the maintenance of 
and building of our soils. Plan io keep some grasses and legumes growing on your farm at all times. 
Legumes grown wiih grasses increase the growth of the grasses because of the extra nitrogen obtained 
through the legumes. 
GARDENING PAYS 
Thrifty and wise people have always gardened. The value of freshly gathered vegetables, crisp and 
full of flavor and health-giving vitamins is well mown to all. The beauty and lasting quality of flowers 
from your own garden and the strengih and sense of well-being derived from pleasant exercise is more 
than worth the effort. Even the city dweller has learned the benefit of bringing more of Nature into his 
works and days.
