1942 
Seed Situation 
The World War and very unfavorable growing conditions in the West have resulted in the 
most general and serious vegetable seed shortage that our Country has experienced in years. 
Apparently there will not be enough seed of some varieties to plant a normal acreage. Seed 
orders should be placed early. 
Fortunately we grow the larger part of our seed in the East, most of it on our own farms. 
This costs more but we prefer to have the seed under our personal supervision at all times. Our 
growing season was about normal and we harvested good crops of high quality seed. We have 
ample supplies of most varieties. 
THE HOME GARDEN 
Just a word on home gardens—Authorities tell us that the garden brings the greatest returns 
for the labor expended of any farm project. This will probably be even more true this coming 
year. In order that you may have the benefit of our experience, we are starring (*) those varie- 
ties that we feel are best adapted to the home garden. ‘They are easy to grow and of outstanding 
quality. 
Every home with even a few square feet of fertile soil should have a garden in 1942. 
LETTERS AND PHOTOGRAPHS 
You probably are proud of your garden. Why not write us about it or better yet send a 
snapshot or two in addition to the letter. Often a picture helps to tell a story. 
1942 CALENDAR 
We now have available our 1942 calendar. You will have all twelve months in front of you 
and each day of the year numbered. Just the calendar for kitchen, office or barn. 
We will mail you this calendar if you will mention it on your order.
