How to Onder 
By studying this Catalog you can get a very good idea as 
to what the crop may do for you. If you are in doubt write to 
our Service Department for expert advice. If possible, use our 
regular order blank when you order, if lost, any other paper 
will do. Give your full name and complete address, tell what 
station you want the seed shipped, and how you want it 
shipped. Freight or truck is most economical. Express or 
parcel post is quicker, but much more expensive. If you are 
in doubt how you want it shipped, you can leave it to our 
your station. Many truck lines serve small towns that have 
no depots. In such case you should give the name of some 
storekeeper or oil station to whom the seed could be deliv-. 
ered. It will then be shipped to you in care of such place of 
business._ 
Sometimes some lots of seed become sold out and unless 
you mark your order “No Substitution” we will send the 
nearest thing to it, and either refund the difference in price,

In order to save our eastern customers money, we have 
arranged to ship our seed from a north central Ohio town. 
That is to give you quicker delivery and lower transportation 
cost. We also may be able to ship from Chicago. Look at our 
pink price list to see how the seed is quoted. It costs more 
money to put the seed into these Eastern points, and there 
is an extra handling cost, so our prices have to be somewhat 
higher. .However, the saving in transportation charge and 
the quicker service will much more than offset this small dif-

BETTER SERVICE 
We have started our cleaning operations 
earlier this year, and are working our plant ona 
three shift basis. This will permit us to have 
more seeds ready for shipment early, and will 
eut down delays in shipment. If for some rea- 
son there is to be a short, delay, you will be 
notified. Every effort will be made to ship your 
order promptly. We strongly suggest ordering 
as early as possible. We have improved clean- 
ing facilities, a better organization and can take 
good care of your business. 
SO-COATED.. SEED 
Be sure to read pages 2 and 3 of this book 
telling about the “Gro-Coated” seed. All farm 
seeds, except as noted, are priced GRO-COATED. 
This slight cost is cheap insurance for better 
hpi el bigger° crops. We strongly recom- 
mend it. 
CATALOG PRICES 
Save Our Pink Price List 
We are pricing our seed on a separate price 
list. That gives you the benefit of the latest 
market. Heretofore, we have had to set prices 
so far in advance that the prices could not be 
protected very long. Because of market fluctua- 
tion, we will still have to hold our prices subject 
to change, but by printing the prices later, they 
are less apt to change, and they will be protected 
against any advances as long as possible. 
Be sure to save the Pink Price list enclosed 
with the book. If it gets mislaid or outdated, 
drop us a ecard, we will send you another copy 
at once. If possible buy from the price list that 
comes with the catalog, because some items may 
become sold out entirely, and others may have 
to be replaced on higher market. Our sincere 
desire is to give you the very best of seed and 
service and value. You can get that by buying 
early.
