A MESSAGE TO YOU 
Due to world-wide conditions causing an acute shortage 
of paper and rapidly rising labor costs it has been necessary 
for us to reduce the size of our catalog. We are listing here- 
in the items we believe will be of most interest and impor- 
tance to you. 
You will surely wish to have your own vegetable garden 
and berry patch as well as to start a small orchard. The 
Government Defense Program will undoubtedly urge this 
and with food prices sky-rocketing it will help you to meet 
your budget. 
The collections we have listed are of plants and seeds 
that we consider of Special Merit. We have tried to make . 
the group prices as favorable to you as possible. ANY 
ITEM LISTED IN THE COLLECTIONS MAY BE PUR- 
CHASED AT ITS INDIVIDUAL LISTED PRICE. 
We ask that you stick to the lists of varieties as well as 
the prices shown when ordering any of the listed items. 
For items not listed we ask you to use the 1941 SPRING 
GARDEN BOOK. If this is not available SEND IN YOUR 
ORDER and we will price it and ship it C.O.D. 
With all orders of $10.00 we will include 1 lovely Bittersweet 
Vine. With orders of $18.00 or more we will include 2 of them.
