The William Macdonald Seed Co. 
For the Seed Trade.... 
It is a pleasure to again mail you our advance Contract 
list on Flower Seeds—for delivery after 1950 harvest. 
This handy booklet describes and prices the many Flower 
Seed items we are growing this year. There has been a 
good spot demand for “fill in” items this spring. Inven- 
tories apparently are being acrried at a minimum and this 
is certainly healthy for the Trade. If you will take an hour 
off now and figure your tentative new crop requirements, 
it will pay you dividends in the Fall, by giving you earlier 
deliveries and protection against any possible shortages. 
Mechanization and increased efficiency of farming op- 
erations reflect additional savings for you in this 1950 
catalog. California’s dry summers enable us to produce 
seed of highest germinating qualities. Modern cleaning 
methods give you a better seed sample. Fast, direct trans- 
portation gets the order to you quicker—within 12 hours 
by air! We need your business and feel that these are im- 
portant points for you to consider. 
We cordially invite all members of the Seed Trade to 
visit our Flower Seed fields when they are in full bloom— 
usually anytime between June and the end of August, with 
Sweet Peas and perennials coming earlier in April. If you 
are driving, we are on the main coast highway 101—other- 
wise Southwest Airways stop here four times daily. 
We want to take this opportunity to thank you our 
many customers and friends, for your nice business during 
the past season. We will strive to give you even better 
service on your 1950 Crop Flower Seed Orders.
