Quality Seeds Produce Quality Vegetables 
“GOLD SEAL” 
Stands for the Best in Seeds 
The old saying, ‘Western Seeds for Western 
Growers,” is a safe guide. Our seed is put up 
under the “Gold Seal” trade mark, and it is your 
protection in the garden and on the farm. 
We operate numerous farms and trial grounds 
throughout Colorado and Arizona, a good portion 
of which is devoted to seed production and to 
extensive field trials of the seed we sell. 
We have our own seed analyst and a seed 
testing laboratory. This work enables us to offer 
you only proven quality. 
All seeds offered in this catalog will be equal to 
or better than the government standard for germi- 
nation unless otherwise stated. 
TERMS—We gladly open charge accounts for 
persons of approved credit. 
PRICES ON VEGETABLE SEEDS 
FOR COMMERCIAL GROWERS 
We will gladly recommend varieties suitable 
for your particular growing area and will quote 
quantity prices. 
FIELD SEED PRICES 
Quantity prices on field seeds are not stated for 
the reason that they cannot be accurately deter- 
mined at the time the catalog is printed. As field 
seeds move in larger volume than garden seeds, 
stocks and markets are constantly changing. We, 
therefore, issue price lists to meet these conditions 
and they will be mailed to interested parties upon 
request. 
Or, if you have an idea of the variety or kind 
and approximate amount of Field Seeds you may 
require, send us your list and we will, without 
obligation to you, gladly make Special F.O.B. or 
Delivered Prices. 
Our Field Seeds are described in this catalog on 
pages 79 to 88.

CULTURE: Sow seed thick in rows 20 inches apart. 
Use plenty of water for the seed has a hard hull. After 
the plants start growing do not cultivate closely as 
this will injure the roots. The following spring or 
second year the roots should be dug, separated and 
transplanted in the field or garden, making trenches 
about 4 inches deep, 6 inches wide; place roots, crown 
up, 20 inches apart. Leave the rows 3] feet apart. If 
you do not care to wait and raise your own roots we 
can supply you with two-year-old roots of the varieties
