Is There Any 
Advantage in 
Ordering Early? 
ordering early you have 
der selection to choose 
You have better assur- 
of getting exactly what 
you want. You almost invar- 
iably get lower prices because we 
our early prices the lowest. 
You are also assured of having the 
seed on hand in plenty of time for 
your spring seeding. 
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 
judgment. If your freight station is different from the post 
office, be sure to indicate it. If there is no agent at your 
freight station, we will prepay the freight and send you 
notice as to the amount due. 
If you want the seed shipped by truck, try to give the name 
of your truck line and find out if they have a truck depot at 
your station. .Many truck lines serve small towns that have 
no depots. In such case you should give the name of some 
storekeeper or local dealer 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, 
or bill you for the balance, or notify you as to the change in 
price. 
Please send remittance with order. That gives you better 
service. Use postal or express money order, bank draft or 
personal check. Do not send stamps or coin, if convenient 
to remit otherwise. 
In order to save our eastern customers money and give 
better service we carry complete stock for shipment-.at our 
new Marion, Ohio, warehouse. 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- 
ference in price. Do not write to any other address but 
Clarinda. Your letters will simply be delayed because they 
will be forwarded on to Clarinda. If you wish your order 
shipped from the eastern point, just state that on your order,

telling about the ‘‘Gro-Coated”’ Brand seed. All

insurance for better stands and bigger crops. We 
strongly. recommend 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 card, 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.
