To Our Friends and Customers: 
iP ISSUING our 1943 Catalogue we have found it necessary to omit certain lines of 
goods, some of them nationally known makes, that we have listed for more than 50 
years. The manufacture of a few of these lines has been stopped by the Government 
as non-essential to the war effort; the production of others has been restricted by the Goy- 
ernment, and some lines are being rationed and require a purchase certificate issued by a 
county farm rationing board. 
In vegetable seeds as well as all other kinds of seeds, with the exceptions of a few kinds 
and varieties of vegetable seeds, we believe the supply will be sufficient for all requirements 
for 1943, but we do recommend that orders be placed early. This will help us to give better 
service and assure your having the seeds when you need them. Everyone who can should 
grow plenty of vegetables this year. Don’t buy more seed than you can use, don’t sow too

thickly, and, above all, take care of your garden after you start it. 
These are troublesome times but we want to assure our customers that we are doing 
all we possibly can to supply their requirements. 
February 10, 1943. 
Faithfully yours,
