TO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS: 
Under the present war conditions everyone is going to be affected— 
whether individual, farmer or business, no matter how large or small. 
Seedsmen have been hit due to crop shortage. Seed exports and imports 
being stopped results in a great shortage of seed. Food prices are rising. 
Be wise! Plant a defense garden. We will fill your order with the best as 
long as our supply lasts. Above all, order early. 
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 ordered and cannot use this catalogue, kindly 
pass it on to someone who may be interested. Thank you. 

Terms, Ordering and Shipping 
Our regular terms are cash with order. Money may be sent by P. O. 
money order, bank draft or registered letter, unless terms are agreed upon. 
Orders may be sent at any time and seed will be shipped at the time speci- 
fied on your order. 
Orders shipped C. O. D., 25 per cent of the value of your order must 
accompany order. 
Delivery of Seeds 
We pay the postage on all seeds sold by the Pkt., Oz., ™% lb., and 1 Ik. 
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.
