‘Until the Lights Go On Again 
BUYERS GUIDE 
UR COUNTRY is in a desperate struggle to preserve the 
American way of life and our Government has asked 
that more and more land and manpower be devoted to the 
production of essential food crops and the growing of vegetable 
seed to produce these crops. Our business is the production of 
flower seeds, but in support of the all-out war effort, we shall, 
for the coming season, allocate a large percentage of our land 
and devote much of our effort to the production of vegetable 
seed and essential food crops. 
Sufficient land will be devoted to the production of flower 
seeds to provide our regular customers with some seed on all of 
the important items that they normally buy from us and to main- 
tain our present stocks at the usual high state of perfection. 
For the duration it may be necessary for us to delete from 
our commercial production some of the less important items of 
flower seeds. On these we shall, of course, make plantings of 
sufficient size to insure ample planting stock of high vitality 
and high quality to again produce the usual quantities after 
the war.
