Dear Friends: 
A very brief message, in which we would like to emphasize 
one thing, i.e., that you 
PLANT A GARDEN THIS SPRING! 
You and I both wish the warring nations would lay down 
their arms, but if they insist on destroying each other, one 
thing is sure, that the cost of foodstuffs will mount rapidly. 
An investment in seeds,—in good seeds, will yield many hun¬ 
dreds per cent returns, and the time to plan is right this 
spring. 
Our big establishment is at your service. We offer you 
high quality seeds backed by 72 years’ reputation, at reason¬ 
able prices, and we also offer you high quality bulbs, plants, 
shrubs, roots, etc. Some varieties have been specially tested 
in the laboratory, in our greenhouses, and in outdoor trials, 
and these are offered as Triple-A-Tested Seeds. 
I extend our sincere appreciation of your past valued 
patronage and I hope we may again serve you this spring. Just 
a word about our testimonials. They are entirely unsolicited, 
the same as in other years, and have not been purchased or paid 
for in any way. For these also, we want our many friends to 
know that we are deeply appreciative.
