Down-to-earth help 

 for garden planners 



This seed catalog, we're proud io say. 

 sets a new high record for helpful- 

 ness. We believe it contains more real, 

 solid gardening data than any seed 

 catalog we've ever read. 



As you'll see, we have crammed this 

 book with FACTS. We've set down 

 here, as far as is humanly possible, 

 the practical answers to the hundreds 

 of questions that every seedsman is 

 asked, every year. 



Whether you are an experienced gar- 

 dener or a beginner, we're sure you'll 

 find much that is helpful in these pages 

 — now and later on. We suggest, then, 

 that you can begin using this book the 

 very day you receive it. Use it first as 

 a guide for your planning — and later, 

 as a guide for more effective action all 

 through the season. 



Please note that our seed listings, in 

 all departments are held down to sen- 

 sible limits. We have selected, with 

 great care, the varieties that we con- 

 sider most suitable for our area — and 

 we've stopped right there. You may 

 see other catalogs with more volum- 

 inous lists, but you won't find any more 

 conscientious selections than ours. 



Because of rapidly changing mar- 

 ket conditions we must remind 

 you that
