"OUR SEEDS GROW FRIENDS” 
VEGETABLES FOR VITALITY AND Victory 
At no time since the first World War has it been so 
necessary for the American people to increase their vigor 
and healthfulness. 
A serious shortage of garden vegetables, with sky-rocket- 
ing prices, may develop unless there is a large increase in 
home vegetable gardening. 
There can be no reserves of FRESH vegetables, excepting 
those growing in gardens. The abundant supply to which 
we have become accustomed, could be changed to a 
shortage. 
Home gardeners are hearing the call. Vacant land in 
favorable locations will soon be prepared to strengthen our 
food front. The first battle to be fought is one to prevent 
any shortage of garden vegetables and canned goods. This 
battle can be won by our army of home gardeners. 
FRESH VEGETABLES play a vital part in combating 
malnutrition and supply the necessary vitamins for the 
added energy we all must have. 
McCullough’s Seeds have been on the market for over 
one hundred years. We pride ourselves on this reputation. 
We spend a great deal of time, effort and labor to supply 
seeds and gardening supplies that are, to the best of our 
knowledge, of the highest quality. We have often been 
asked if we “guarantee or warrant our seeds.” We answer 
that we can not, for the reason that practical experience 
has assured us that there are many hazards beyond the 
control of the seedsman, such as weather conditions, in- 
sects, and differences in soil. Many times we have observed 
a planting of the best of seeds to fail; and, later a planting 
from the same lot of seeds, result in an excellent crop. 
The J. Chas. McCullough Seed Company gives no war- 
ranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, pro- 
ductiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, or 
plants it sells, and will not be responsible for the crop.

Suggestions For Ordering 
In pricing the items in this catalog, we have been re- 
quired to anticipate such problems as difficulties in securing 
‘certain lines of merchandise due to the defense program— 
possible new taxes on some articles that would raise their 
prices—seed shortages— and other situations. 
It will be our purpose to fill your orders completely, 
promptly and at the prices quoted in this catalog. However, 
if circumstances prevent this, it may be necessary on some 
items to delay your order, substitute, or ask for a higher 
price. We recommend that your orders be placed as early 
as possible. 
Seeds by Mail, etc. 
Packets and half pounds only of Beans, Corn, Peas, and 
all other varieties of Vegetable and Flower Seeds, will be 
forwarded postpaid at catalog prices, unless otherwise 
noted. All other items are priced F. O. B. Cincinnati. 
Where Cotton Seamless Bags are required, they will be 
charged at thirty-five cents each. We reserve the right to 
advance or decline with the market on any item listed in 
this catalog.
