Our 40th A nniversary 
( Gre the years since our establishment in 1905, our country 
has come through many turbulent periods, none more so than the 
present. All guesses notwithstanding, you do not know and we 
don’t know whether 1945 will be a year of war or a year of peace. There- 
fore Victory Gardens will be as important this year—yes more so—than 
ever before. Our soldiers and sailors must be furnished with an abundance 
of fresh, nutritious foods, and our people at home, in factories and ship- 
yards must be kept at maximum efficiency by an ample food supply. 
Production of as much food as possible by the home gardener is a vital 
contribution to the War Effort. 
At the same time let us not forget that Gardening through all the years 
has been associated with the refinements of Peace, and has helped to instill 
in our people a love of Home and a love of Freedom. Beautiful flowers and 
¢ RODEN attractive home plantings keep us ever mindful of the ideals and way of 

.. fo have and fo hold 
livmg our Armed Forces are fighting to preserve. 



During the past three years we have been called upon to serve more new 
customers than ever*before in our 40 years. We take pardonable pride 
in believing that we have handled this business to the full satisfaction of 
our patrons despite the handicap of merchandise shortages and insufficient 
help. The confidence shown in our SEEDS by so many Garden Lovers, 
has had the effect of making us strive to the greatest lengths to continue to 
live up to our 40-year-old motto: Reliable Seeds and Efficient Service.

FOR THE FUTURE WITH WAR BONDS’”’
