Greetings to Our Customers

The lower value levels of merchandise generally has in our opinion reached the bottom so far as farm and garden products are concerned. We are fully confident that better prices will be realized by the farmer and producer this coming year. We do not believe it advisable to curtail your planting operations, but rather to strive for greater returns from the land. This you can do by using our Choice Iowa Seeds, and giving the crops the care and attention worthy of good seed. By this means you can increase production to a profit. We expect by supplying seeds of the best quality to help raise both production and profit, and to strengthen our position as
