64 JANUARY, 1943 


At no time since the first World War has it been so 
necessary for the American people to increase their vigor 
and healthfulness. 




















A serious shortage of garden vegetables may develop un- 
less there is a large increase in home vegetable gardening. 
There can be no reserves of FRESH vegetables, excepting 
those growing in gardens. The abundant supply to which 
we have become accustomed, could be changed to a 
shortage. 
Home gardeners are hearing the call. Vacant land in 
favorable locations will soon be prepared to strengthen our 
food front. The first battle to be fought is one to prevent 
any shortage of garden vegetables and canned goods. This 
battle can be won by our army of home gardeners. 
FRESH VEGETABLES play a vital part in combating 
malnutrition and supply the necessary vitamins for the 
added energy we all must have. 
McCullough’s Seeds have been on the market for over 
one hundred years. We pride ourselves on this reputation. 
We spend a great deal of time, effort and labor to supply 
seeds and gardening supplies that are, to the best of our 
knowledge, of the highest quality. We have often been 
asked if we “guarantee or warrant our seeds.” We answer 
that we can not, for the reason that practical experience 
has assured us that there are many hazards beyond the 
control of the seedsman, such as weather conditions, in- 
sects, and differences in soil. Many times we have observed 
a planting of the best of seeds to fail; and, later a planting 
from the same lot of seeds, result in an excellent crop. 
“OUR SEEDS GROW FRIENDS” 
VEGETABLES FOR VITALITY AND Victory 

The J. Chas. McCullough Seed Company gives no war- 
ranty, expressed or implied, as to the productiveness of 
any seeds or_bulbs it sells, and will not be in any way 
responsible for the crop. Our liability in all instances is 
limited to the purchase price of the seed. 
Suggestions For Ordering 
In pricing the items in this catalog, we have been re- 
quired to anticipate such problems as difficulties in securing 
certain lines of merchandise due to the war program— 
possible new taxes on some articles that would raise their 
prices—seed shortages— and other situations. 
It will be our purpose to fill your orders completely, 
promptly and at the prices quoted in this catalog. However, 
if circumstances prevent this, it may be necessary on some 
items to delay your order, substitute, or ask for a higher 
price. We recommend that your orders be placed as early 
as possible. 
Seeds by Mail, etc. 
Packets and half pounds only of Beans, Corn, Peas, and 
all other varieties of Vegetable and Flower Seeds, will be 
forwarded postpaid at catalog prices, unless otherwise 
noted. All other items are priced F. O. B. Cincinnati.

We reserve.the right to advance or decline with the 
market when necessary within the law on any item 
listed in this catalog.
