PLANT A GARDEN FOR HEALTH, 
ECONOMY and FOR OUR ALLIES 
We who are not privileged to work shoulder 
to shoulder with our soldiers and sailors, can 
do our part by using every available piece of 
ground. Our country and our Allies will need 
food and we must supply it. 
This year there is a shortage of many seed 
items, but we, like other seedsmen, have re- 
ceived a pro rata order, therefore we would 
advise you to place your order early. We 
are always at your service and willing to 
assist you in every way. 
It is impractical to guarantee seeds, as un- 
der improper care the best of seeds will fail. 
Some may be sown too shallow or too deep, 
in too dry ground or too wet. Some hardy 
seeds will stand cool weather and grow when 
soil is too cold for others and will cause them 
to decay. Therefore, in accordance with all re- 
sponsibleseedsmen, we, Banfield-Jennings Corp., 
give no warranty, express or implied, as to 
description (including kind, variety, and name) 
quality, productiveness or any other matter 
of any seeds they send out and will be in no 
way responsible for the crop. Where purity 
and germination are given, they indicate 
recent tests but are not guaranteed.
