Dear Customer: 
Permit us to express our appreciation of the consideration given us 
in these unsettled days. 
You will note by our Catalog that we are still able to furnish you 
with fresh crop seed, and your ““Mum”’ order will, as heretofore, be given 
our personal attention. 
May we suggest that you give your selection of varieties searching 
thought as to the variety which will mean the most to you in productive- 
ness. We have again listed our “Mums” in a fashion, which we trust will 
be of most help to you in your'selection, and you will also note that our 
Catalog has been carefully planned as to the best collection of commercial 
values in seeds, plants, insecticides, etc. 
We all fully understand the acute labor shortage condition in our 
business today, so may we recommend that all orders for stock which 
you may need in ‘“‘Mums,”’ Carnations, Seeds, Insecticides, etc., be given 
your earliest possible attention. 
Our salesmen are unable to call upon you as frequently as before, 
but let us assure you that your appreciated mail orders, will be given our 
personal attention and immediate acknowledgement. 
Appreciating the business relations we have enjoyed with you in the 
past, and trusting that we may have the pleasure of serving you during 
the coming year — we are, 
Yours for a prosperous 1943, 
GEO. K. GROFF 
Madeline FC, Steffy, Propr.
