OUR FORTY-THIRD YEAR 
As for the past three years we continue this series of folders in place of the former catalogues which used a great deal more paper. They afford 
you the information essential to the purchase and use of our well known specialties. Editions will be spread throughout the year so as to offer most 
material as it is available and seasonable. However, as many items are available and seasonable throughout the year or for several months, we hope 
that you will file each edition as it arrives and refer to them often. By so doing you will help us to serve you better with a minimum of material 
and labor used. We will gladly replace any issue which may become lost of course if we are still able to do so. 
We hope to maintain prices at the lowest possible level and as stable as we can. In re-issuing a listing of a group of stock, prices current 
at the time we go to press will of course be given and these prices will always apply after the date of that issue. In ALL cases quotations are made 
subject to change in market price, taxes or government regulation and prior sale without notice. This is simply normal trade practice that is dict- 
ated by the current unsettled conditions. We’ll do our best to serve you well and do appreciate your co-operation and patronage. 



The Pansy Situation 
This MUST be appraised as TIGHT at this time. Large wholesale 
plantings have been generally reduced this year because of scarcity of 
labor in many sections where wholesale growers have been operating. 
It is safe to say that at this time the supply of plants in the hands of 
these growers is the smallest in the history of the industry. We are 
practically sold out as you will see farther along in this list. As for the 
retailer who grows his own, there is certainly no more than normal 
supplies for his own trade in his hands and it is doubtful if many of 
these growers are going to release much of their stock to fellow tradesmen 
in view of the prospects of heavy demand from the public. 
The overall picture is that there will not be enough Pansies to meet NOVELTY AND SPECIALTY VARIETIES 
the demand by any means. The demand for Pansies has been increasing VARIETY a= PER 500 seeds (;4-0z.)
