Gentlemen: 
Now that the extreme colcl of the winter Is past the garden 
makers in all parts of the country are making plans for 
this summers’ garden. Are you sure your shelves are well 
stocked with a full line of flower seeds to fill all the 
orders that come in, as soon as they come in? You know it 
is the man who has the seed on hand who gets the sale. Be 
prepared - send us your order today for those varieties 
that are getting low. Check up and be sure that you have 
a good supply of all the colors of Sweet Peas, as you are 
sure to have a brisk demand for them. A good many of the 
fall plantings will be killed by the zero temperatures, and 
re-orders will be plentiful. We suggest that you advise 
the use of Early Flowering Spencers for present planting, 
as they will grow faster and give a profusion of flowers 
before the heat of the summer months strikes them. 
Your biggest selling item right now, of course, will be the 
various varieties of Asters, Don’t let the customer try 
to tell you that he or she can’t raise Asters any more, be¬ 
cause they die from a wilt or rot that hits them. Sell 
them Wilt Resistant Asters! Perhaps they’ve never heard 
of Wilt Resistant Asters before. Tell them about them - 
show them the Resistant Aster hanger you have picturing 
our strains growing for seeds for their gardens. Once 
they try our Wilt Resistant or vaccinated Aster seed they 
won’t take any other kind - and you won’t want to carry 
any but the best, improved strains of resistant seed in 
your store. From all countries we receive letters commend¬ 
ing us on the work we have done in saving the well-loved 
Aster for the gardens of the world. 
Although our stocks are now running low on all varieties of 
Asters, we can still take care of your requirements for most 
varieties. On the general line of flower seeds we are sold 
out of a good many items, as listed below. All seeds are 
moving better than they have in several years, assuring us 
that the hump is definitely past, and the outlook for the 
next season very bright. Money is again in circulation.
