TO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS: 
At the time of this writing there are no ceiling prices on seeds and our 
seed prices have not advanced. 
Food shortage is being felt, and our armed forces are going to need more. 
This means all small gardeners as well as commercial gardeners will have 
to plant more vegetables. No matter how small your garden, it will be 
a big help to relieve strain on the commercial grower and transportation. 
Be prepared with plenty of canned vegetables and root crops in your 
cellar for the coming year. Plan your Victory garden now. 
There is a shortage in some varieties of seed and to insure your supply, 
would advise that you place your order early. 
We have only one quality of seed, the best that can be obtained. 
We cordially thank our many customers for the orders which they have 
favored us, hoping we may continue to serve you the coming season. 
Yours sincerely, 
CHAS. R. AITKEN. 
NOTE: On all orders received before April 1st, we include trial packets 
of different kinds of seed, the number of packets depending on the amount 
of your order. Should you find any of these of particular value we would 
be pleased to hear of it. 
Should you have already ordered and cannot use this catalogue, kindly 
pass it on to someone who may be interested. Thank you.

Our regular terms are cash with order. Money may be sent by P. O. 
money order, bank draft or registered letter, unless terms are agreed upon.

Delivery of Seeds

Quantities over that are priced net, to be shipped by parcel post, freight 
or express, at purchaser’s expense, unless otherwise stated. 
No charge is made for packing or packages. 
Conditions of Sale 
All seed sold by us is tested and is of good vitality and will grow under 
normal conditions. The percentage that germinates is marked on the pack- 
age, thus giving you the idea just how thick to sow the seed to give a good 
stand of plants. However, in common with all responsible seedsmen, while 
we exercise the greatest care in selecting our strains of seed, we do not give 
any warranty, expressed or implied. We will not be responsible for the 
crop in any way. 
Prices subject to change without notice.
