TO THE TRADE 
This year we have reduced our acreage of 
flowers to one third; the other two thirds of our 
acreage is planted to food crops. This reduction 
will be necessary for the duration of the war at 
which time we will again plant our full acreage 
to flower seeds. We probably will run out of some 
colors of sweet peas and have to discontinue grow- 
ing others. At this time we are able to supply 
all varieties listed but cannot guarantee that your 
orders will be filled later in the fall. However, we 
will do our best. 
We have marked with a. star 
which we consider our very best. This is to reduce 
our acreage in 1944 and also to eliminate the colder 
varieties. We believe we can continue with from 
25 to 30 varieties of sweet peas, all of which are 
good. This will make it easier for growers to pick 
thei very best selling colors with the finest long 
stems and growth without having any doubt about 
them. 
We are sure if you will choose these marked 
with star, that no better choice acn be make as 
they are our very best. Please send your order 
early, as orders are filled the same day that we 
receive same. If you do not want seed until later, 
order now and let us’ reserve same for a future 
mailing date. We will be pleased to reserve your 
order. We begin filling orders about June 15th,
