To Our Friends and Customers 



WE WANT to help you get off to a flying start with your garden this year. No matter how much 

 weeding and watering and fertilizing and spraying you do later on, it is the seed you plant that 

 counts most. "Blood will tell," they say, and surely the seed hybridizers have proved that to 

 us. Improved strains are continually being put on the market, and those that have shown their value and 

 trueness are found in these pages. 



Boigiano means service as well as quality seed, and for this reason we shall feel it a privilege to help you with 

 any garden problems you may have. We hope you now find it possible to do some ornamental gardening and that 

 your lawns and shrubs and flower borders are not neglected. Our stock of garden supplies is complete again; most 

 of your needs can, therefore, be tilled at our store. Feel free to drop in and look around.
