FARM SEES 
GRO-COATING COSTS YOU NOTHING! 
MORE VIGOROUS GROWTH 
Hundreds of farmers have written us about how their Gro-Coated 
seeds produced plants that grew more vigorously. We have space 
_ to give you only a few of these farmer reports. They are typical 
of the many that have come to us. This heavier growth may be 
; attributed to two things. First, the disinfected seed has not been 
attacked by disease. It is, therefore, stronger and healthier. It 
gets off to a quick start. Those are the kind of plants that make 
the best growth. Plants are a good deal like animals. Your Grasses 
and Clovers and Alfalfas that start right off and grow vigorously 
are the plants that will make the largest yields. ; 
Gro-Coated seeds are protected not only by the special formula 
of chemical disinfectants, but we have added a growth stimulator 
to it. This is designed to further stimulate the germination and 
the growth of the plants after they are started. Gro-Coated seeds 
does not mean a fertilizer has been applied or that it has been 
inoculated. You should inoculate legume seeds just before sowing.

GRO-COATING IS DIFFERENT 
We can searcely over emphasize the desirability of 
getting the genuine “Gro-Coated” seed. A very spe- 
cial combination is used in making up this formula. In 
addition to that the rate of application is very care- 
fully controlled. An additional step in ‘Gro-Coated” 
seed is the method of application. A fourth addition 
to the formula assures that the proper amount of the 
disinfectant will adhere to the seed surface. This tends 
to increase its protective power all the more. 
It has been necessary to devise special equipment for 
Gro-Coating certain seeds. Now you can get those 
hard to treat seeds also Gro-Coated. Seed like Brome 
Grass and Orchard Grass which are perhaps benefited 
more than others by this special process. There are 
only a few selected wholesalers, and two mail order 
houses that are authorized to sell “Gro-Coated” seed. 
Do not accept substitutes or be satisfied with single 
treatment disinfectants. It will pay you to demand 
Gro-Coated and get the finest. 
TREMENDOUS INCREASE IN STAND 
The Photographs that we show you here are only a 
small part of the evidence of the superiority of “Gro- 
Coated” seed. There have been other tests made 
throughout different parts of the nation. The yields 
of Vetch have been practically doubled. Lespedeza over 
25% better, the same for Alsike Clover. Red Clover 
20%, Blue Grass 160%, Brome Grass 115%, Sudan Grass 
stands almost tripled where cold weather followed 
seeding. Two and a half times as many Alfalfa plants 
of the same amount of seed, 40% more from Trefoil. 
It is possible that you could be fairly safe in sowing 
less “Gro-Coated” seed per acre, but you may run into 
very unfavorable years. It is better to sow the nor- 
mal rate of seed per acre and to figure on the “Gro- 
Coating” as an extra measure of insurance of getting 
a good stand under unfavorable conditions. There are 
some years you could plant untreated Corn and get 
just as good results as you might with treated seed, 
but no one cares to take the risk. 
The average cost per acre will run around 20c to 25e. When you 
consider the tremendous difference in the results that are being 
obtained from ‘“Gro-Coated’’ seed, you will find the cost of this 
extra assurance of better stands and more vigorous plants to be 
very low indeed. You can buy Berry seeds not “‘Gro-Coatec 
” 
and 
you will find them as fine as any non-‘‘Gro-Coated’’ seeds you can 
buy. You will find them priced below the average in cost. Even 
with the minimum ‘‘Gro-Coated”’ charge added, you can save money on Berry’s seeds. By sow- 
ing ‘‘Gro-Coated”’ seeds, you have the best possible assurance of satisfactory results. 
Gro-Coated Far Ahead 
I got a wonderful stand of 
Alfalfa and Red Clover from 
Gro-Coated seed. My stand and 
growth is far ahead of my neigh- 
bors who used non-Gro-Coated 
seed, 
Frank Sullivan, Salem, Ind. 
Gro-Coated Clover Nicest Ever 
I had a much better stand of your Gro- 
Coated seed, yet used 10% less seed. I had 
the nicest stand of Clover I have ever had, 
and will buy only Gro-Coated seed from 
now on. P. T. Helfrith, Bucyrus, Ohio. 
Sweet Clover Stand for First Time 
On one of our farms we have never been 
able to grow Sweet Clover. Last spring we 
sowed Gro-Coated seed and had a fine stand. 
We only sowed 6 Ibs. per acre. 
John J. Stricker, Charleston, Mo. 
Gro-Coated Alfalfa Best 
In April I planted 6 acres of 
Gro-Coated Alfalfa seed. I have 
already taken off 3 crops and the 
4th crop is about 10 inches high. 
It beats anything I ever saw. 
J. C. Rice, McCook, Nebr. 
Gro-Coated Alfalfa Thick and Fast 
The Gro-Coated Alfalfa is as thick as it 
could stick on the ground and grew very 
fast, I think Gro-Coating is wonderful and 
it sure pays to get it on your seeds. 
Carl Pelger, Beardstown, Ills. 
Will Use Gro-Coated Only _ 
I compared the results from Gro-Coated 
seed with non-Gro-Coated. The crop from 
Gro-Coated seed grew ranker and taller. I 
will use nothing else regardless of cost. 
Tom Huyck, Edmore, Mich. 
Gro-Coated Surpasses All 
The Gro-Coated seed I pur- 
chased last spring surpassed any- 
thing I have ever tried both in 
stand and growth. I sowed ome 
some this fall, and now have a ae 
green carpet all over the field. é 
H. L. Van Sickles, Farmington, Mo. 3 
Gro-Coated Alfalfa Better 
I sowed Gro-Coated Alfalfa seed this 
spring and got an excellent stand. I consider 
it grew better than non-Gro-Coated seed. 
The Alfalfa is making a very thick growth. 
Wilbur Bell, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. 
Only Gro-Coated Seed From Now On 
I sowed Gro-Coated Alfalfa seed at a 
lighter rate than usual and have a _ very 
nice stand. From now on my orders will be 
for Gro-Coated seed. 
Frank J. Fischer, Wacoma, Minn 
Gro-Coated Far Superior 
I sowed all kinds of Gro-Coated 
seeds last spring. Also sowed some 
non-Gro-Coated seed, but your 
we al Gro-Coated seed was far superior 
~~ 2We got better sstands,~ quicker 
=~" growth and heavier foliage. é
