P. O. BOX 29 — GRANTS PASS, OREGON. 

It is the purpose of this folder to inform our friends and patrons as to the seeds, plants and bulbs that are seasonable and available at this 
time. This does not mean that these are the extent of our stock, but rather they are those most likely to be of interest at this time. The prices quot- 
ed herein of course supersede previous offers on these items, For a more complete listing of our stock as well as terms of sale, see our last general 
catalogue. Copy gladly supplied free on request. 
Check Pansy Seed Need 
Never before in the history of American floriculture has there been 
such a complete change in seed supply and growing in so short a time. 
Even in the last war the stoppage of imports was not so complete. True 
the American trade finds itself well situated in the production of some 
seeds. Beeause of the faith and foresight of a few domestic growers 
we have the basis of good supplies in some kinds of seeds. Unfortunate- 
ly, Pansies are not among this group. Dealers found the prices offered 
by growers in Europe and Japan so attractive that only limited domestic 
production developed due to the higher production costs encountered 
here. Because of this American growing has been confined to a group 
of high quality profitably priced strains. In this better type of seed 
the American breeder has been highly successful and can be proud of 
the product he has developed. . 
Now, however, if Pansy seeds are to be had they must be produced 
in this country. It is unprofitable to attempt to grow the cheap strains 
at the former import price. Production will of course be centered most- 
ly on the higher quality and priced strains already in production. Possib- 
ly some cheap production may be attempted by new growers of meager 
experience. In any event the established, reliable grower who is experi- 
enced and in production is finding dealers willing and anxious to take 
up the available seed he may have. As for ourselves we feel that our old 
and valued patrons are entitled to first call on our stock and growing 
facilities. We intend to continue this policy in the protection of your 
interests. YOU as a valued friend and customer will receive first con- 
sideration in the distribution of our limited supply of Pansy and Viola 
seeds. 
We enjoyed a good harvest last season and this will assure a normal 
quantity of seeds being available for the early (July ) plantings. Our 
1942 crop looks promising and we expect a normal harvest in quantity 
and quality. This may prove inadequate as several American growers 
were not so fortunate in harvesting last fall and in some cases by 
delivering all their harvest they filled but 40 to 60% of their contracts. 
As many of these growers harvest late — not earlier than September 
— this means that generally the seed available for early planting is 
probably inadequate. We can not too strongly stress the advisability 
of ordering your requirements NOW — or at least early. 
We happen to be one of the very few growers of Pansy seeds that 
can harvest early enough to deliver most items by or before August 
First. Many items we can deliver by July First from new harvest. Also 
through a good 1941 harvest we have a normal supply of most kinds to 
cover early deliveries. We shall do everything we can to keep our cust- 
omers from being disappointed. Rest assured we want to co-operate to 
the full extent of our resources. 
We believe also that it is wise to be more certain than ever before 
[ nRRERIREEtIEEEeeE 
of the experience and reputation of your seed source. Present conditions 
are bound to tempt new and insufficiently experienced growers into this 
field. Some no doubt will succeed in mastering cultural detail in the 
course of time; to these we heartily wish the best of luek in their 
effort. To you as a plant grower we council a eareful selection of 
your seed source. We offer the following seeds backed by forty years 
of experience both as seed and plant growers and we feel confident that 
we can render unusual service to you this year. For your Pansy and 
Viola requirements we can not too strongly stress the advisability of 
knowing their origin; buying from the seed grower and ordering NOW.
