FOR ECONOMY SOW LETHERMAN’S 
J\ov€*v Mtkib'S&cdA, 
They are not “cheap” seeds, but you will be practicing true economy by sowing them, because they 
are GOOD seeds, priced as low as good seeds can be produced and sold. Good seeds like all other com¬ 
modities are always cheapest in the end. 
There are conditions surrounding the growing of any crop that are beyond human control, but there 
is one thing you can control, and that is the quality of the seed you sow. 
When you sow good seed you have made the right start for a good garden. Why risk time, effort and 
money with “cheap” seeds when you can buy Letherman’s Proven Merit Seeds, that are good and de¬ 
pendable at such reasonable prices. 
In presenting this our 1934 Garden Guide we have endeavored to make it helpful with the valuable 
information contained. For those in doubt as to what varieties of vegetables to select for their especial 
needs, we have marked the most desirable ones—which we consider the best in their class—with this 
symbol a, and suggest selections be made from them. 
We offer you the best seeds that can be produced and an entirely satisfactory service in filling your 
orders. 
Sincerely 
THE LETHERMAN SEED & SUPPLY CO. 
Geo. M. Letherman, Pres.
