Our 64th Year 
Impelled by the urgency of war, we all realize that one of our greatest achievements will be to produce more and more food. 
It is imperative that Victory Gardens be improved and increased to provide the most essential item for winning the war 
and feeding the devastated countries. 
We are prepared by having available for you plenty of the usual Purebred Seeds, Fertilizers, Inoculants, Seed 
Treatments, Insecticides, Fungicides and a fair stock of Sprayers. 
The supply of Lawn and Garden Tools is expected to be somewhat limited for 1944. 
We regret that lack of space prevents our listing all items in the catalogue. We will try hard to merit your friendship and 
confidence which is very sincerely appreciated. It is impractical to guarantee seeds, as under improper care the best of seeds 
will fail. Some seeds are sown too shallow or too deep, in too dry ground or too wet. Some hardy seeds stand cool weather 
and grow when soil is too cold for others and will cause them to decay. Therefore, in accordance with all reputable seedsmen, 
“we, Banfield-Jennings Corporation, give no warranty, express or implied, as to the productiveness of any seeds or 
bulbs we sell and will not be in any way responsible for the crop. Our liability, in all instances is limited to the purchase

Soil and other conditions surround- 
ing the use of lawn seed may require 
special fertilizer. Some of the kinds 
are: Wedo, Sacco, Vigoro, Milorgan- 
ite, Wizard Sheep and Cow Manure, 
Peat Moss, phosphorus, commercial, 
bonemeal, sulphates and _ nitrates. 
Lime is not a fertilizer and should be 
used only after a soil test demonstrates 
the need for it. Poor top soil, inade- 
quate fertilizer and carelessness in pre- 
paring the seed bed usually results in 
disappointments. 
Our purchases of lawn grasses are 
made in large quantities and of wide 
variety. Each grass seed of every 
mixture requires rigid analysis tests 
before being accepted and are mixed 
by ourselves in mixtures described on 
the opposite page and which are rarely 
duplicated in quality. 
If you have problems, consult us. 
We will try to help you.
