SPRINGFIELD SEED COMPANY, SPRINGFIELD, MO. 19 
The Field and Garden Seed Situation 
Many grass crops, as well as alfalfa, have developed very short in comparison to last season. Plowing up of 
some grass seed acreage to put in grain crops has brought a part of this about. Considerable damage was done by 
spring drought followed by excessive moisture at planting time and at the time plants were in bloom. 
An active demand has caused markets to advanée considerably on items which are short in supply. Others are 
priced about the same as last year. 
This also applies to some varieties of garden seeds, particularly Peas and Beans and some of the root crops. 
The high quality of STAR BRAND SEEDS is still being maintained by us, regardless of these shortages. 
We appreciate the business given to us by our many customers and friends throughout the years; some of them 
have been dealing with us during the more than 53 years that we have been in business. Your orders and inquiries 
will have our careful attention.
