Dear Customers: 
Fresh vegetables, F.O.B., your Kitchen Door will help during the 
days of food rationing that are bound to continue and become more serious 
so long as this terrible war lasts. 
Your local Ration Board will not issue a card against your vegetable 
garden this year, so if you plant vegetables, you will become just that 
much more independent of your vegetable market. 
And do not think that will not help win the war, for though your 
efforts may be small, multiplied by all the other VICTORY GARDENERS 
in America, food production will be given a tremendous boost. 
You will notice that | am moving the Vegetable Seed Department of | 
the catalog right up in the front of the book, where it naturally belongs in a 
year when many flower gardeners are planning to add vegetables to their 
garden program and all vegetable gardeners will find it first thing. 
| know that none of you who have had flower gardens will want to 
give up their flowers, and it is not necessary. | think we are all a good deal 
happier if we have bright, colorful flowers, even when things are not running 
smoothly. Certainly the world is not running smoothly now, so by all means, 
include some flowers in your garden, too. 
lam happy to report that to my present knowledge, all of our boys 
in the Army, Navy and Coast Guard are safe, well and reasonably happy. 
Some have been working hard for promotion and have gained it. | hope 
your boys and men folk that may be in the service are safe, too. 
Gas Rationing will give all of us more hours at home. | trust that you 
will spend many of these saved hours in- your garden. Your health will 
benefit as much as your pocketbook and the fresh vegetables will beat 
‘store stuff’ a mile. 
Yours for a fine VICTORY GARDEN, 

FB:B. President.
