GARDENING IN 1945 
T IS seed-catalog time and we are looking for- 
ward to the next planting season. For three 
years seedsmen have done a booming business, 
and we wish to thank our customers for the very 
considerable share which we have had in it. We 
particularly appreciate your willingness to under- 
stand delays in shipment and to accept substitutes 
when shortages made your orders impossible to fill 
as specified. We have endeavored to keep our ser- 
vice as nearly as possible up to standard, and your 
cheerful attitude has been helpful. 
Large numbers of gardens have been made in 
these war years by people who never before touched 
a hoe. The results in food produced amazed even 
the experts, and undoubtedly did a great deal to 
ease the situation on the home front. Without these 
home-grown vegetables the supply in the markets 
would have been inadequate. 
With the coming of victory in the war and a con- 
sequent relaxation of the pressure for production, a 
large percentage of these home-gardeners will con- 
tinue to raise their own vegetables. They have dis- 
covered that nothing on sale in the markets can 
match the superb freshness of home-grown products. 
And they have found the deep satisfaction and 

recreation that comes from working in the soil. 
Gardening can become a hobby for these people, and 
more flowers will undoubtedly occupy their time 
when peace comes 
To both old-time and newly fledged gardeners we 
pledge our best efforts.
