ORDER BY MAIL 
The seedsman’s greatest problem hasalways been the “rush season”’ nature of the business. War condi- 
tions have aggravated this problem because there has been a very greatincrease in the volume of Mail 
Orders received, and the manpower to handle them has steadily decreased. To meet this trend we have 
successfully developed the most modern and efficient Mail Service Department in the industry. We 
are very proud of this department for in it orders are not only given intelligent and individual atten- 
tion, but many small extra services are provided, not duplicated to our knowledge by any other house. 
This department is equipped and ready to handle orders promptly as they reach us; therefore those 
who order early are assured of having their garden supplies on hand when planting time arrives.
