To Our (ustomers: 
This year we must grow more vegetables than ever before. It is everyone’s duty to grow whatever 
vegetables he can. Here in the United States, the food up to now has been sufficient, but unless good crops 
are produced again this year we, too, could have a food shortage that might prove serious. 
The United States will be sending larger quantities of food to our armed forces and to our allies. When 
the war ends, large quantities of food, if available, will be exported to starvmg Europeans until such time as 
they are able to produce their own. During the war the United States has been the arsenal supplying war 
equipment. For at least a year after the war, we will supply the food in whatever quantities we can, to Europe 
Jaid waste. 
In this the 40th year our firm has been in business, we have on hand a Jarger supply of high-quality 
vegetable seeds than ever before. The growers of our seeds in almost all instances had good crops in 1943 
and the seeds were harvested under good weather conditions. 
We ask our mail-order customers to please order seeds as early as possible. This will be of the greatest 
help to us and will msure your having your seeds well m advance of planting-time. 
We thank you and wish you very good success in your planting.
