DEFENSE GARDENS.. will Save you MONEY 
K feel that we must urge on every one of our customers the necessity of doing their “bit” in 
food production. With hunger everywhere in Europe and the ever apparent approach of 
actual food shortage even in our own country as shown in the constant advance in food prices 
it is evident that anyone having even a small garden plot should plant some vegetables for 
their own use. 

The continued shipment of seed to England and South America coupled with the already existing 
shortage of many varieties of seeds both vegetable and flower, as well as many bulbs, a large part of 
which was imported from Europe and Japan has not helped in the present seed situation in our own 
eountry. 
We, along with many other seedsmen have been forced to reduce the number of varieties offered. 
Some seeds, notably mangel, carrot, onions, and cauliflower as well as pansy seed are so short that an 
adequate supply is difficult to procure at any price. 
We regret the advance in prices but trust that our customers will have confidence in our efforts to 
supply quality seed, plants and bulbs as always.
