Dear Friends: January 10, 1945 
We are now entering the fourth year of war and 
we are all looking forward to peace, but before we 
can realize our wishes many hard battles will have 
to be fought. Part of the seed business is under OPA 
and while this may prevent runaway prices it also 
prevents the Seed Trade in obtaining sufficient sup- 
plies of the short crops such as Alfalfa, Alsike and 
Sweet Clover, and again we may find ourselves short 
of Red Clover although the crop was very satisfac- 
tory. I do want to emphasize the shortage prevail- 
ing, especially in Alfalfa, as no seedsman is able to 
obtain a sufficient quantity to take care of anything 
like a normal trade. 
It is with pleasure we report one of the best crops 
of Hybrid Corn that we have ever raised and the 
quality is extra fine owing to not having any severe

Garden seed will again be in big demand. The War 
Production Board is asking that everyone who can, 
grow a Victory Garden again this year. Canned fruits 
and vegetables cannot help but be short, so your best 
assurance of having this food for your table will be 
by growing it. We have a nice supply of garden seed 
and think we will be able to take care of-all orders. 
On Nursery Stock there will be quite a shortage on 
many items so do not delay ordering. 
You will find our prices considerably under ceil- 
ings on such items as Clover, Sweet Clover, Timothy.

portant for the customer to get in his order early, so 
for this reason I would ask that you act promptly

will be wise if you send your order in without delay.
