From the Eighteen Millions of Victory Gardens and the farms of OUR United States to the kitchen tables and 
then into jars went the tens of thousands of tons of food we all helped to grow last year and we and millions more 
are going to repeat that great accomplishment again this year, a Peaceful pursuit without which there can be no 
Victory in battle. 
Far Greater Quantities of Food Needed This Year 
Millions more people must be fed as they are freed, or they will die. Our supplies can quickly be consumed, and 
that is why the Food Administrator is asking that four MILLION more Victory Gardens be planted and is asking 
farmers to grow FOURTEEN million more acres of wheat than last year. 
FRIENDS, LET US REMIND YOU AGAIN—you cannot “‘make”’ food, nor can all your money buy it if it is 
not available or if needed first for our armed forces, so you see the possible seriousness of your food supply this 
summer and next winter. 
YOUR VICTORY GARDEN should be as large as you can take care of so you can grow sufficient vegetables for 
your entire family for all summer and fall and enough extra to can and store for winter—at least 125 quarts of 
vegetables and fruits for each member of your family will be needed. 
MARKET GARDENERS-— grow all the vegetables your farm will produce. City families will buy all you can grow 
for them, for they urgently need more vegetables. 
FARMERS—you should by all means have a full acre or two of vegetable crops for your own family and for 
canning and storing for winter. Don’t be caught short of food,—it could happen. 
THE SUPPLY OF SEEDS for 1944. The seed requirements to produce all the food needed at home and abroad 
will be tremendous. Many seeds are again in short supply due to unfavorable growing weather, therefore you 
will be acting wisely by sending us your entire order for your year’s supply while we have them for you.

Our Catalogue in January! We very earnestly request that 
you make out your order at once and send it in and thus get 
very prompt delivery and help avoid the possibility of delay. 
Last year tens of thousands of our customers delayed sending 
their orders in until the last of March and first of April and with 
almost every order twice its usual size, you who ordered at that 
time can see why we were swamped with orders and although 
working day and night, yet for a short time, we were three 
weeks back with orders. We want to avoid that this year and 
you can help us by sending your order at once. 
WE PAY THE POSTAGE, Express, or Freight on all 
Garden Seeds and Flower Seeds at the prices quoted in this 
Catalogue, to all points in the United States. We send them 
whichever way is cheapest. Be sure to give your nearest express 
or freight station for large shipments. 

DISCLAIMER. We give no warranty, express or implied, 
as to the productiveness of any seeds, or bulbs, or plants 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 
seeds or bulbs or plants. WALTER S. SCHELL, INC.
