THIS NEW 1945 CATALOGUE 
This new 1945 Catalogue offers quality seeds 
at fair prices in spite of present-day conditions. 
We are determined to offer the very best to 
our trade. Record-breaking crops are still 
asked for by our government, and it behooves 
every one of us to produce all possible. 
To do this, good seed is of first importance. 
We make a specialty of supplying market 
gardeners with nothing but the best. Our job 
is to send you only those seeds that will enable 
you to grow the very best crops. We have been 
doing this consistently for several years. It 
is, however, to your advantage to place your 
order with us early, as there is an unusual 
demand for these extra-selected stocks we offer. 
We believe our prices are reasonable and 
consistent with seeds of highest quality. 
We take this opportunity to thank our many 
customers for their confidence in us during 
these past years. This enables us to keep 
supplying you with only quality seeds. 
We hope you have had a good year and trust 
your 1945 plantings will produce the Iimit. 
We have just finished making a new stock 
of Boston Marrow Squash. The field scene and 
illustration on the outside cover will give you 
an idea as to the crop and the correct shape, 
but m our opinion something else enters into 
the different types of Boston Marrow Squash— 
and that is the color. We have developed the 
finest very deep red color that it is possible 
to make. 
We have had some of this Squash canned, 
and processors declared it to be the finest ever 
offered. 
The other special we suggest is Rutabaga, 
Purple-Top Yellow Globe. We select and pro- 
duce this special strain of Rutabaga on our 
own farms. In it you have a stock that will 
hold its shape even when it attains the limit 
in size. 
An ilustration will be found on the back 
cover showmg the especially large crop we 
produced this year for seed purposes.
