1934 Recovery Gardens 
S this catalog goes to press, recovery measures are the topics of the day. Gardens 
are just as essential now as they were during the war days. People must eat. 
Vegetables are a necessity and a new crop must be produced each year. There 
is no carryover such as is possible with the grains. The benefits of having a 
gaiden are not easy to count in dollars and cents; they are incalculable. Fresh from 
the garden vegetables are not only better, but eliminate waste of overbuying and spoil¬ 
age; they are there to take in amounts as and when needed. They supplement the family 
budget in a very material, practical way. And, who can value the flower garden in 
dollars? There has never been an over-production of beautiful flowers in the home. 
The extra dividends have been referred to many times by Edgar Guest, who once 
said, ‘ All the world is seeking happiness and it’s right in your own back yard.” 
We, as seedsmen for fifty-seven years, have brought from coast to coast and from 
foreign lands, seeds that are the products of superior plants, through selection and plant 
breeders’ skill and patient efforts. We have made prices just as low as is consistent with 
our determination to place quality rather than price in first place. John Ruskin said, 
There is hardly anything in this world that some man cannot make a little worse and 
sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are his legitimate prey.” We 
all know how well this applies to seeds, for the crop tells the story and not their ap¬ 
pearance in the dry state. 
That is what our trademark means to us and our constantly growing number of 
satisfied customers. “Platt’s King of the Garden Seeds” keep pace with time, and faith 
with friends. 
We Make a Specialty of GRASS SEED for Lawns and Athletic Fields, Including 
Evergreen Lawn, Edgewood Park Lawn, Fine Lawn, Shady Lawn 
ALSO FOR HAY AND PASTURE 
OUR POULTRY SUPPLIES 
We are printing the annual list in conjunction with the Seed Catalogue, and pages 8i to 90 offer a 
comprehensive introductory to this special feature. 
The name “PLATCO” applied to our special formulae represents the superlative. In feed it 
signifies purity, sound, clean, sweet grain. We do not employ adulterants or by-products, screen¬ 
ings, salvaged stock, or musty and damaged matter. QUALITY and the BEST spells it another way.
