Market Gardeners’ Requisites 
Seldom have seed supplies been as short as they are this season. All seed imports from Europe 
having been stopped entirely there are several items of which there is less than half of what is 
needed. A few of the items usually brought in from other countries were grown here, but the 
acreage was not large and the harvest light. Plans have been laid to grow much more this year 
and it is hoped that these efforts may be crowned with success so that ample supplies will be avail- 
able by next fall. 
As in former years, we have exercised the greatest care to obtain high grade seeds and what we 
offer is beyond doubt the best to be had. For you it is advisable to place your order early. Choice 
stocks are scarce and will be sold out before planting time. 
We thank all of you who have so generously favored us in the past and hope that we may serve 
you again this season.
