Our 25th 
Anniversary 
WENTY-FIVE years ago we started in busi- 
ness with a war raging in Europe and now, a 
quarter of a century later, almost the whole world 
is at war. However, the world did have peace for a 
few years during which the house of Hunt prospered. 
Although we did not get rich tn dollars we became 
wealthy in making a host of customer friends 
whom it 1s a pleasure to serve. We have also 
accumulated a store of experience which makes 
us better able to furnish advice as well as better 
seeds, bulbs, and plants to those who need them. 
DIG FOR VICTORY 
Last year many thousands heeded the urge to grow more 
fruit and vegetables for food and more flowers to help dispel 
the shadow of misery being spread over the world by certain 
dictators, and found the results good. Fruit ripened on the 
plants; vegetables, picked or dug at the right moment and 
prepared immediately for the table, were a surprise to many. 
You never know fruits or vegetables until you grow your 
own, and what a difference a lot of flowers in both house 
and garden make. 
Hunt’s Seeds, Plants, Bulbs, and Supplies are all of one 
quality—“‘Hunt”’ Quality—the best obtainable. Good prep- 
aration of the soil is necessary; given that as a basis, and 
with Hunt’s Seeds, Plants and Bulbs in the ground, satis- 
factory results are assured. 
Make “DIG FOR VICTORY” your slogan and have 
better food and flowers for yourself and family, and you 
will be helping to right this disorganized world.
