with him but I would have declined be¬ 
cause I had a previous engagement to 
dine with more intimate friends. 
This summer I am planning a trip to 
my home at Marshall, Wisconsin. In next 
year’s catalog I’ll tell you more about how 
I found things there. 
This spring I am prepared to give you 
a bigger and better variety of bulk garden 
seed than ever before. Last year the sale 
of garden seed held until the middle of 
June due to the lack of rain and the hot, 
dry winds. This year I hope you vege¬ 
table growers will have moisture and get 
a bumper crop with the first planting. 
These second and third plantings mean 
more cash for me but I hate to see the 
sad expressions on my good customers’ 
faces when they return for their second 
and third supply. Farming is a disap¬ 
pointing business when your crops fail and 
there is nothing left to feed the stock. 
[ do know a few things about the farm. 
I’m not like the smart city banker who 
was visiting on a farm and he said to 
the farmer: “Well, I suppose that thing 
is called a hired man.” The farmer had 
also visited a bank and answered, “No. 
He is not called a hired man, he is the 
vice-president in charge of the cows.” 
As in previous years I intend to carry 
a good selection of frost-proof cabbage 
plants, tomato plants, and _ sweet potato 
plants. If you have never tried my plants, 
it’s time you started. You can have cab¬ 
bages from your own garden for the 4th 
of July Celebration and those tomatoes, 
they're dandies! 
I hesitate to mention field seed because 
I am forced to ask such a big price for 
everything. I shall carry the usual line
