We sowed 60 acres of Gro-Coated seed and 
it was at least 6 inches higher than the rest 
of the field. We’ve always had perfect stands 
since using Gro-Coated seed. 
John Krueger, Kankakee, Ill. 
The crop trom Gro-Coated seed grew more vigorously 
and didn’t die in hot weather. I think the treated seed is 
stronger seed. Ethel Carr, Greenfield, Iowa. 
I got a wonderful stand of Alfalfa and Red 
Clover from Gro-Coated seed. My stand and 
growth is far ahead of my neighbors who used 
non-Gro-Coated seed. 
Frank Sullivan, Salem, Ind. 
I sowed Gro-Coated Alfalfa seed at a lighter rate than 
usual and have a very nice stand. From now on my or- 
ders will be for Gro-Coated seed. 
Frank J. Fischer, Wacoma, Minn. 
In April I planted 6 acres of Gro-Coated 
Alfalfa seed. I have already taken off 3 
crops and the 4th crop is about 10 inches 
high. It beats anything I ever saw.

‘COATED™ 
TO PRODUCE BETTER STAI 
You buy and sow seeds because you want stands of grasses and clovers in 
your fields. That is where your seed investment pays off. We have learned 
that farmers gladly will pay a little more per pound for seed, if necessary, 
providing they definitely feel that they will get greater assurance of better 
stands. That is exactly what we are guaranteeing to you. 
This is our fifth year of selling Gro-Coated brand seed. The farm reports 
have given a tremendous endorsement to this seed. What we have done, 
in short, is to protect each seed with a special private formula fungicide. 
The finest seed you can buy may be killed or weakened in the soil by 
fungi while it is germinating. Seeds with Gro-Coat protection generally 
make from 15% to 150% more plants because they are protected. That is 
why we can guarantee them.

I sowed all kinds of Gro-Coated seeds last 
spring. Also sowed some non-Gro-Coated seed, 
but your Gro-Coated seed was far superior. We 
got better stands, quicker growth and heavier 
foliage. 
Mrs. A. E. Cerveny, Prairie Grove, Ark. 
I sowed Gro-Coated Alfalfa seed this spring and got 
an excellent stand. I consider it grew better than 
non-Gro-Coated seed. The Alfalfa is making a very 
thick growth. Wilbur Bell, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Last spring I sowed Gro-Coated seed and certainly 
have a wonderful stand. It has grown very rapidly. 
From now on I will sow nothing but Gro-Coated seed. 
Fred Thompson, DeGraff, Ohio. 
Your Gro-Coated cost very little. We 
think it is insurance in a farmer’s seed- 
ing. Our Gro-Coated Alfalfa grew much 
faster than non-Gro-Coated seed. The 
plants have more pep and vigor.
