At the time of going to press with this edition of our spring catalog, conditions are 
much more favorable for higher prices of farm and garden products than they have been 
for a number of years. The extensive program of Defensive preparedness being in full 
swing by our Government, will very likely make heavy demands on transportation, as 
well as man power. Truck and rail deliveries to distant markets of fresh vegetables will 
be curtailed to a certain extent, thus making better markets for locally grown foods of this 
kind. 
Normally, this country is an importer of large quantities of European vegetable seeds. 
This has changed, as we are now exporting certain seeds to England and if the War con¬ 
tinues, this export demand is sure to increase, making much heavier demands on the 
1941 seed crops. This unexpected demand, along with unfavorable growing conditions 
in 1940, creates extreme shortage in several kinds and varieties of vegetable seeds, some 
to a point where we know that we can not supply anything like our normal demand. Yet, 
regardless of this situation, we are making all prices in our catalog as low as possible, 
however, subject to change without notice. 
We have the greatest desire to take care of normal requirements of our regular cus¬ 
tomers and will do so as far as possible. We advise securing your requirements as far in 
advance as possible. 
Why not a Preparedness Garden this year to provide fresh vegetables for your own 
table.
