Gentlemen: | have had _better- 
stands of alfalfa from seed bought 
of you than from any other. It 
produces well and stands the winter 
and dry weather extra good. | 
plant 10 lbs. to the acre. It has 
stood as long as eight years before 
replanting. | prefer your Lot ‘VIM,’ 
the smallest, which gives more seed 
per acre. | have a better stand 
than my neighbors and their seed 
costs two times more money. | have 
got two to two and a half tons 
of hay per acre. | am very well 
pleased with your seed. | really 
save money—from one-third to one- 
half—by buying from you, even after 
| pay the freight to Cayuga. 
Sincerely yours, 
John S. Kinderman

We have been using your seeds 
since 1932, and have never had a 
failure. Yields are always good 
and they stand the winters better 
than most do. We had the most 
severe winter in 1949-50, and the 
crops from your seeds came thru in 
fine shape. We have a very fine 
stand of clover and brome seeded 
in 1949. Jacob Merkle, Sr.

‘ Doeville, Tenn. 
| like your seeds better than any 
others | have ever used. | have 
planted your alfalfa, clover and 
grass seeds for 5 or 6 years and 
haven't bought alfalfa from anyone 
except you since | started sowing 
your seeds, as hayen’t found any 
as good. | also have a _ better 
garden since | started planting your 
seeds, and they cost less and have 
more seeds in the package.

1951—The alfalfa purchased from you in 1947 is giving complete satis- 
faction. It is winter hardy, excellent quality and priced much lower than 
seed previously used. Your alfalfa is producing some outstanding crops 
in this vicinity. Carl E. Wilb

For 32 Years oe : 
| started using your seeds about 1920. Your seeds were recommended 
to me by the late William L. Christian of Granger, Indiana, also by 
Bro. Leo of Notre Dame farm. My yields of hay have always been good— 
all from your seed—and excellent quality. | have not only saved money 
by ordering direct, but have always got good seed. | am now past the 
milestone in years of active farming which | much enjoyed.

Saved Money For 8 Years 
Through the years that | have purchased 
seed through your company | have saved 
considerable money. The hay yields have 
been very good and the quality has been 
much more than rmy expectations. | have 
more .than succeeded with your clovers, 
grasses, and your alfalfa has proved hardy 
and resists heaving, which is a problem, 
especially this past winter. | have been 
using your Lot VIM in crop rotations and 
find nothing better for a soil builder. | 
have used Bowmans Seeds for 8 years and 
highly recommend your field and garden 
seeds to everyone.
