are genuine. 
* CATALOG PRICES 
Save our pink price list. By issuing a separate 
price list we can give the benefit of latest mar- 
kets. Be sure to have the pink price list enclosed 
with this book. If it gets mislaid or out-dated, 
drop us a card and we will send you another copy 
at once. 
We urge you to buy as early as you can from 
the price list that comes with the catalog. Be- 
cause of market fluctuations prices are subject to 
change as indicated on the price list itself. 
* Fast, Efficient Service 
We are organized to give you better service 
than ever before. There is one special depart- 
ment whose duty it is to see that shipments go 
out with all possible dispatch. The American 
Field Seed of Chicago has now been consolidated 
with us all for the purpose of giving greater 
values. See the paragraph below relative to east- 
ern shipments. We will try to take care of late 
buyers promptly but for your own interests mail 
order early. Try to avoid that last minute rush.

ye Is There Any 
Advantage in 
Ordering Early? 
By ordering early you have 
a wider selection to choose 
from. You have better assur- 
ance of getting exactly what 
you want. You almost invar- 
iably get lower prices because we 
make our early prices the lowest.

judgment. 
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 
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. Please specify item number.
