TO OUR CUSTOMER FRIENDS... 
E BELIEVE every business no matter how large or small has been affected 
by the present war conditions. There is another factor that enters into the 
production of seed. That is weather conditions. We do not believe there ever 
was a year when such adverse conditions existed, not only in one part of our country, 
but throughout the entire seed-producmg sections. The final result is a very great 
shortage of seeds in general. Do not waste seed, but plant sufficient to produce a good 
yield. Order early, so that we may fill your order with just the best, as long as our 
supply lasts. 
As in the past, the Abbott & Cobb Seed List ts restricted to those varieties which 
we believe to be of the highest quality and that will produce a profitable crop for the 
erower. 
Whether the varieties you have been growing have been satisfactory or not, it is 
always well to try the new things, especially when you have our assurance that they 
must really be good or they will not be offered in our catalogue. 
You gave us a good year and we hope that every one of you had a profitable one. 
May 1942 be your best year ever.
