— Vic tory Gardens for 43 
How will gardens help toward Victory? To give just a few of the answers, we call 
to your attention the many farm hands who are now in the military forces or factories. 
Food is essential to our fighting men and civilian population. With less manpower, we are 
producing for ourselves and our Allies. The more of us who ean be self-supporting, the 
easier this task will be. Our hard pressed transportation systems will have less food to 
carry. Our large commercial growers can ship more vegetables to our fighting forces and 
stricken Allies who cannot grow their own. Each of us who can produce our food should 
not ask the other fellow to do it for us. Gardening will save the family budget for more 
War Bonds and Stamps. Men, women and children turning to the soil will benefit in mind 
and body. Food will help win the war and write the Peace. 
The D. Landreth Seed Company is performing its war task, fortunate in having 
personnel with many years of experience. We have purchased a new warehouse in Idaho 
to better take care of your requirements. On our farms at Bristol and under our direct 
supervision at our own western branches, we grow thousands of acres of vegetables for seed 
purposes. We have shipped these seeds to our customers all over this country and numerous 
other parts of the world including Africa, Bermuda, Canada, Central America, Egypt, 
England, Hawaii, India, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal, Scotland, South America, 
West Indies and others. We have grown seeds for Lend-Lease shipment and the govern- 
ment has taken two-thirds of one of our products. These things are being accomplished 
under great difficulty. Please have patience in delays. Try to understand if your favorite 
variety of Landreth Seed is sold out. Cooperate by getting your order in early. Let’s 
all work in our Victory Garden in ’43 for the Peace Garden in 44. 
The Lengthened Shadow of the Founder 
Since our last catalog went to press, two members of our firm have died after over 
50 years of service to our Company. Burnet Landreth, Jr., Chairman of our Board, 
passed from this life on October 4, 1941. S. Phillips Landreth, Vice-President and Treasurer, 
died on July 16, 1942. Both men contributed much in their lifetime to the betterment of 
the seed industry. Now the fifth generation of the Landreth family is dedicated to the 
continuance of the policies which have made countless friends of the finest people in the 
world—our customers. 
1944 will be our 160th Anniversary Year
