MANY ARE STARVING 



Seed Is Scarce — Food Products Are in Short Supply the World Over 



To Our Friends and Fellow Farmers: 



To plant every available acre this Spring, and to cultivate them so carefully that they will produce the largest possible crops, 

 is the sacred duty of every American farmer and gardener. 



Very high prices are being paid and will continue to be paid for the products of your farm, your garden and your poultry 

 yard; but even at high prices there ivill not be enough food produced this year to keep many people of the world from starving, 

 UNLESS the American farmer exerts his utmost efforts by planting tens of thousands more acres and devoting his greatest skill 

 and energy to making every crop yield its utmost. 



You U'ill save the lives of your fellow men by planting carefully and liberally, but do not waste seed, for there is not enough 

 seed in the u'orld to meet present needs. 



We start the New Year with a full assortment of carefully saved seed, but our quantities are limited. We therefore urge our 

 customers to send us their orders as soon as possible, so we can fill them to their entire satisfaction. 



We thank you for your generous patronage in the past and ivish you a prosperous and happy year. 

 .Tanuary i, 1917. Yours respectfully, J. BoLGlANO & Son.
