Dear Friends: 
We are pleased to present our 1944 Seed Catalogue, which we trust you may find 
not only interesting but of value in assisting you to prepare for your 1944 Victory Garden. 
In our presentation we have endeavored to be concise and brief, and all varieties 
of seed which we offer are in our opinion, varieties which will be well adapted for your 
garden. 
There will be a still greater demand for seed this year, as our country needs our 
help in connection with our food supply. It is our desire to cooperate with our cus- 
tomers, and in order to insure prompt shipment we ask that you kindly mail your 
order to us as promptly as may be convenient for you. 
Each year we receive many friendly letters from our customers, some advising us 
of the success which they have enjoyed with our seed, some requesting advice as to 
their garden problems, and many of a personal nature regarding the members of our 
organization. These letters please us, as we desire to be friendly, and realize the satis- 
faction of living during this period with a friendly thought for our neighbors. 
We wish for you all that is well. May your garden be bountiful, and may we all put 
forward every effort to win this war as soon as possible and to win the peace to follow.
