To Our Friends and Customers 
Another year has passed and the new season brings forth our 19 40 
catalogue. Look over our list of specials. The varieties marked (A) are 
recommended varieties, strains that the markets want and are paying 
premium prices for. This we know to be a fact through the experience in 
growing all varieties here on our farm. 
We have only one quality of seed—the best that can be obtained. Our 
business has been built up on honesty and fair dealings and we cordially 
thank our many friends and customers for the wonderful increase in 
business with which they have favored us, and we hope we may continue 
to serve you the coming season. 
Yours sincerely, 
Chas. R. Aitken. 
NOTE: On all orders received before April 1st, we include trial packets 
of different kinds of seed, the number of packets depending on the amount 
of your order. Should you find any of these of particular value we would 
be pleased to hear of it. 
Should you have already order and cannot use this catalogue, kindly 
pass it on to someone who may be interested. Thank you.

Delivery oi Seeds 
We pay the postage on all seeds sold by the Pkt., Oz., % lb., and 1 lb. 
Quantities over that are priced net, to be shipped by parcel post, freight 
or express, at purchaser’s expense, unless otherwise stated. 
No charge is made for packing or packages. 
Conditions of Sale 
All seed sold by us is tested and is of good vitality and will grow under 
normal conditions. The percentage that germinates is marked on the pack¬ 
age, thus giving you the idea just how thick to sow the seed to give a good 
stand of plants. However, in common with all responsible seedsmen, while 
we exercise the greatest care in selecting our strains of seed, we do not give 
any warranty, expressed or implied. We will not be responsible for the 
crop in any way. 
Prices subject to change without notice.
