“OUR SEEDS GROW FRIENDS” 
VEGETABLES FOR VITALITY AND Victory 
At no time since the first World War has it been so 
necessary for the American people to increase their 
vigor and healthfulness. 
A serious shortage of garden vegetables may develop 
unless there is a large increase in home vegetable gar- 
dening: 
There can be no reserves of FRESH vegetables, ex- 
cepting those growing in gardens. The abundant supply 
to which we have become accustomed, could be changed 
to a shortage. 
Home gardeners are hearing the call. Vacant land in 
favorable locations will soon be prepared to strengthen 
our food front. The first battle to be fought is one to 
prevent any shortage of garden vegetables and canned 
goods. This battle can be won by our army of home 
gardeners. 
FRESH VEGETABLES play a vital part in combating 
mainutrition and supply the necessary vitamins for the 
added energy we all must have. 
McCullough’s Seeds have been on the market for over 
one hundred years. We pride ourselves on this reputa- 
tion. We spend a great deal of time, effort and labor to 
supply seeds and gardening supplies that are, to the 
best of our knowledge, of the highest quality. We have 
often been asked if we “guarantee or warrant our seeds.” 
We answer that we can not, for the reason that practical 
experience has assured us that there are many hazards 
beyond the control of the seedsman, such as weather 
conditions, insects, and difference in soil. Many times we 
have observed a planting of the best of seeds to fail; 
and, later a planting from the same lot of seeds, result 
in an excellent crop. 
We give no warranty, expressed 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 price of the 
seed. THE J. CHAS. McCULLOUGH SEED CO.

MATURITY DATES: Following most varieties of 
vegetables is a numeral which represents days re- 
quired to produce vegetables ready for table use, 
Weather conditions, time of planting, etc., affect the 
time of maturity, and these figures will vary from 
year to year. These figures are intended primarily to 
afford a basis of comparison rather than to state a 
rigid interval between the planting and harvesting.
