Dear Scott Friend: 
Another holiday season is past, a new year is here and we're ready to roll up our 
sleeves and fly into the work of 1950. For eighty years now SCOTTS have been trying 
to have cleaner, higher quality seed than is usually available elsewhere and, in addition, we 
have tried to be among the first to have many of the new varieties and kinds of seed. 
Over the past few years it’s been Midland and Cumberland Clover, Ranger and 
Buffalo Alfalfa, Certified Bromes and Ladino, Clinton and Clinton 59 Oats, Lincoln and 
Hawkeye Soybeans, Butler and Vigo Wheat and many others. Now this year it is Kenland 
Clover, Atlantic Alfalfa, Madrid Sweet Clover, Clinton 11 and Andrew Oats, Monroe Soy- 
beans and, by fall, Seneca Wheat. 
There has been no particular change in the seed situation since our letter of the 
December Ist price list. Possibly Sweet Clover has shown up a little shorter than expected 
as has also Brome Grass. Generally we feel prices will remain steady with but few advances. 
We have felt that many farmers would need seed Oats this year as the 1949 har- 
vested crop was below average in yield, test weight and quality. Clinton 59 and 11 are 
essentially equal in all respects and are a little more uniform in ripening and in height than 
Clinton. Mindo, Columbia and Andrew are earlier and better suited to the southern oats 
territory. Our supplies of most are good but don’t wait till the last minute to order seed Oats. 
In SCOTTS meadow and pasture mixtures you will find a nice balance of legumes 
and grasses. Experiment Station recommendations have been followed and seed equal in 
quality to the items listed separately has been used. ‘The seed is thoroughly mixed, convenient 
to order and sow and should produce a top quality meadow or pasture. 
The new hybrid corn bulletin contains a description of the hybrids listed along with 
some planting tables and other information. Reports continue to be very favorable to the 
SCOTT Hybrids. Select one or more suited to your farm and plant at least a part of your 
acreage with it. In addition to the Ohio Certified varieties listed we can get the new hy- 
brids or any of the older ones for you. . 
Soybean seed demand may be greater than last year, especially if corn allotments 
are set. Momroes are early and intended for northern areas or where planting is late. Hawk- 
eyes are high yielding, medium in maturity and suited where wheat is to follow. Lincolns 
are medium late, high yielding and have taken the place of the older full season varieties. 
Orders will be accepted at any time for later shipment and inoculation is furnished with 
beans at no additional charge. 
Sincerely Yours, 
It’s Time To Order Seed.
