QuGhtan's wai: Flower Feeds 
Seed Stocks Are Short! 
All the flowers you can grow this year will be assured of a market at good prices. Production has 
been short and all indications are that it will continue so; while demand is at a record level. In spite 
of the difficulties due to war, we hold stocks or expect delivery of every item listed. Since replace- 
ments are uncertain, however, we urge you to order early, to make sure of obtaining your season’s 
requirements in full. A heavy demand for vegetable plants in the spring should be expected. 







Buyers of seeds are dependent upon the experience, ability and integrity of the 
seedsmen to insure the quality and identity of the seeds they buy. Our customers 
are protected by the skill of an organization which for more than sixty years has 
specialized in seeds for florists. 
Carl Cropp, vice president of Vaughan’s Seed Store since 1884, and his son Carl 
Jr., are in touch with expert growers; by frequent inspection trips and careful 
checking in our trial gardens, they make sure that we supply you with the best 
seeds obtainable in the world.

percentage is up to the high level of our standards. Trueness to type is determined 
and checked by the hundreds of tests grown in our greenhouses and trial grounds.
