1942 SY 
We wish to express our best thanks to our clients, a great number of whom 
have used our seeds, bulbs, etc., for many successive seasons during our forty years 
in business, and hope that we may again be privileged to serve you. 
After forty years in business, we feel that we are capable, with our highly 
trained staff, of selecting the best varieties and stocks of seeds, bulbs and plants pro- 
curable, and advising our customers which to use in their respective localities. This 
service is available at all times. 
In some instances, owing to world conditions, we have not been able to obtain seed 
of certain varieties of vegetables. This applies principally to imported exhibition 
strains; we have excellent and plentiful stocks of the reliable well-known sorts which, 
in some instances, cannot be improved upon for good quality heavy crops.
