PLAN NOW 
for a 
VICTORY GARDEN in 1943 
Agriculture faces the most important year in its history. American 
planters must produce more and more “Food for Freedom.” It’s All 
Out production for VICTORY now. 
It’s a patriotic duty to plan carefully for maximum production of the 
crops our Government and Allies need. 
Plan your Victory garden carefully. Decide what vegetables are 
best for you to grow, turn to the following pages and select the va-~ 
rieties you want. Our catalogue is written with clear and accurate 
descriptions so it will be easy for you to pick out the kinds which are 
best suited to your needs. 
We offer only one word of advice. Purchase clean, pure seeds and 
order them early. Some seeds are exceptionally short, and later on 
may be actually unobtainable. 
Our sincere thanks to all of our old friends for past patronage, and 
a warm welcome to our new ones.
