Everywhere in the U.S.A.: 
Every Florist with whom I have talked about the outlook for 1942 has pointed 
out two problems to me. The first, how to make room for growing enough stock to fill the demand that is 
sure to come in 1942. The second, what to grow to replace their former stocks of lilies, hyacinths and 
ie yc: well as many flowering annuals that are now unobtainable because the seed was only produced 
in Europe. 
: They all point out that with very high wages and the curbing of installment buy- 
ing, folks will be able to indulge in the purchase of flowers to a greater extent than they could since the de- 
pression started. The farther the great mass of the people get from merely existing, the more this demand 
for fine flowers will increase, 
In this catalog, | offer you the best bred strains of fine flower seeds both for use 
in the greenhouse and for any outdoor growing you do. Also vegetable seeds of exceptional quality. | 
nee all of these will make money for you if you will sow them, because they will produce fine plants 
or you. 
May | suggest that you go over your requirements immediately, for the seeds 
you wish to sow now as well as for later sowing. | ask this because while we have a reasonable stock of 
every item we offer in this catalog, still there is no surplus seed available in the hands of the producers 
and when this stock is sold out, no more will be available until after the harvest of 1942, which will be too 
late to do you any good in this year’s business. 
Your attention is called to the fact that we have quite a number of stocks of 
seed of which we have not enough on hand to justify listing in a catalog such as this that goes from coast to 
coast to all of our customers. If there are any varieties you need that are not listed, drop me a line, name 
the varieties and how much you will need and | will let you know if we have it or not and quote you. 
| shall be looking forward to receiving your order and we will all do our part 
here to give you not only the quality, but the service you like to have. Here are our best wishes for a good 
selling year in 1942. You deserve it.
