Dear Customers and Friends, - 
Another planting season is just around 
the corner. Food production is still of 
major importance in the conduct of the 
War. Food production will help cushion the 
shock of re-conversion when Peace comes. 
The first requisite of successful garden- 
ing is good seed. ALNEER’S SEEDS 
HAVE BEEN FAMOUS FOR QUALITY 
FOR 62 YEARS. Grown b¥ highly experi- 
enced growers from carefully selected 
stock seed, true to name and type. The 
fully ripened crop is harvested and cleaned 
by modern methods. WE SELL ONLY 
SEED WHICH TESTS PROVE ARE OF 
GOOD GERMINATION AND PURITY. 
Despite the farm labor shortage, the 
vegetable seed supply is ample. Alfalfa, 
clovers and grasses are very short. 
We cannot urge too emphatically. to 
ORDER EARLY. With the present lack of 
experienced help, ordering early is a big 
aid to good service and will make it possible 
for all the thousands of our patrons to have 
their seeds at planting time. 
Our policy has always been to sell the 
BEST SEEDS AT THE LOWEST PRICES. 
Our prices are therefore BELOW CEIL- 
ING wherever possible. 
Thank you for your patronage. 
Faithfully yours, 
RAYMOND J. ALNEER, 
President and Manager.
