Market Gardeners’ 
WHOLESALE CATALOG 
High Grade Seeds, Implements, 
Fertilizers, Twines, and 
Market Gardeners’ Requisites 
1942. Our 30th year in Chicago supplying market growers with the finest and most dependable 
stock of vegetables and flower seeds. Thirty years of seed-breeding and selecting, always with this 
thought in mind: “Improve wherever possible.” 
Market growers who demand the best have found complete satisfaction with our seeds. We 
take every precaution to safeguard your interests. Every lot is tested and every bag and package 
is plainly marked, showing variety name and percentage of germination. 
The past year was very discouraging for the production of seeds. Adverse weather conditions 
at planting time, and more so at harvest time, resulted in small yields, particularly in Carrot, 
Herbs, Kohlrabi, Leek, Onion and Spinach Seeds. A real scarcity exists in these items and the high 
prices they bring do not make up for the terrible losses suffered in the production. 
Please note. All sales are made subject to confirmation and our ability to deliver. We reserve 
the right to change prices without giving notice.
