Only the Best is Good Enough 
M ANY things have combined to produce higher prices lor seeds and garden accessories 
this year. There has been a shortage of crops in many locations due to drought and 
other conditions beyond control, and the shortened hours of labor, brought about by 
efforts to improve the unemployment situation, have also contributed much to the increased 
cost of producing first-rate seed. 
However, we made our contracts tar enough in advance that we were able to forestall most 
ot these increases and protect ourselves and customers against seriously advanced prices. Con¬ 
sequently, you will find in this catalogue only slight increases on some items. 
We wish to call to your attention again that William M. Hunt & Company, Inc., has always 
stood for the best, and that our standard of quality in the seeds we offer has never been lowered 
for any consideration. Our plants and seeds have never been cheap, because cheap things are 
always expensive in the end. Good plants, good seeds cost no more to grow than inferior products 
and the result is measurably more profitable. Our customers can rely upon us now and always 
to supply only dependable material. 
We extend a hearty invitation to our local customers to come to our store and make their 
purchases directly from our stock. Those who order by mail may rely upon skilled selection being 
made for them.
