HELPFUL PLANTING HINTS—STORIES & FUN ABOUT PLANTING 
Yankton, South Dakota, September, 1944 
Let's Get Acquainted 
Here are a few satisfied and enthusiastic Gurney customers. We like to hear from them often, so we can be 
sure to know what they like and what does best for them, and how they’re getting along. We like pictures, too, 
and pay a dollar for every one we can use in the Planting Guide and the big spring Catalog. Remember, a sub- 
scription to the Planting Guide is an order for seed or plants or chickens. As long as you order, you'll receive 
the magazine regularly, and we hope you'll write, too. Ask us for advice if you need it. But write and let us 
know how things are going and growing for you. .We’re always busy here at Yankton, but never too busy to en- 
joy a word from a friend.

pets.
