Give the Farmer Facts

The average planter has but little
use for finely spun theory, whether
it pertains to the relation of his
condition to politics OF whether 1t
deals with the best ways and means
of growing the best crops. What
he wants is Facts. No one has re-
allied this more than the great seed
firm of D. NJ. Ferry & Co., Detroit,
Mich, who for forty years have been
studying the wants and condition
of planters, large and small. and
as a result have created the largest
seed business in the whole world.
Without doubt, a strict adherence
to the policy of dealing in facts rep
resepts the secret Of their success.
They know their seeds are right be-
fore they are sent to the many thous-
and dealers from whom the planter
gets them. TIE dealer knows this
to be fact requiring no further
question, and the planter finds 1t to
be a substantial fact when harvest
time comes. Another illustration
of the value of this method is found
in Ferry's Seed Annual, in which
there is nothing but facts. Facts
/ that prove of the greatest value Il
every planter; facts about how
when and where to plant, that can
be had FROM 10 other source. There
are no worthy facts left out, and ne
unworthy theories let in. This booi
is sent free to every one who ask:
for it. A postal card with YOU
name and address sent the hrn
will bring il to you.
