Victory Gardens Are Now A Major 
Source of Our Food Supply 
Seeds for planting an estimated 20 million victory gardens 
caused such a flood of orders last spring that seedsmen were 
confronted with many difficult problems. Like all business 
we lost part of our staff to the armed forces and war indus- 
tries. Fortunately, we retained a few key employees and 
with their yoeman efforts were able to accomplish what was 
seemingly the impossible. Refunding on sold-out items was 
an unusual task and we hope you were not seriously incon- 
venienced by shortages and unavoidable delays. 
We purchased additional farms and produced as much seed 
as possible considering the handicap of insufficient labor. 
The number of varieties has been reduced but you will find 
those we offer are still ““As good as grow for you to sow.”
