How to Buy Seeds 
What is a Packet? Quantities of seed in a 
packet vary a whale of a lot, same variety, 
same price, as put up by different seedsmen. 
Long's packets contain more than many others. 
But you get still more for your money if 
order by the ounce or fraction of an ounce (if 
so listed). You will want to make several 
sowings of many vegetables. Your ounce, or 
larger quantity, will save ordering again. For 
most gardens, order % lb. or more Beans, Corn, 
Peas, especially Peas. 
Buy enough, but don’t hoard. 22,000,000 Vic- 
tory gardens will require a lot of seed. Yet 
seedsmen believe there will be nearly enough 
for all. Some kinds may sell out. Better say, 
“Tf any sold out, send another kind,” especially 
on late orders. 
Buy Seeds from Seedsmen 
The cost of good seed from best sources is 
a small item of expense, compared to other 
costs and labor in producing a garden, and 
insuring profitable returns. 
Is simply good sense to buy seeds from firms 
that have specialized in producing and selling 
high grade seeds for years, rather than from 
mushroom dealers who spring up over night 
(since Pearl Harbor), hoping to cash in on the 
planting of Victory gardens. 
For 42 years I’ve been selling seeds, good 
seeds, here in Boulder. For 38 years have 
issued catalogues and shipped seeds all over 
the U. S. A. and to foreign lands. I don’t know 
it all yet, and never will. But I can and do 
send you seeds that make good. 
More About the Spratts 
Funny, isn’t it, how often no two members 
in a family care for the same things, whether 
magazines, radio or radishes! 
For example, Mr. and Mrs. Spratt. Jack won’t 
be so choosey these days. His wife will nibble 
a bit of lean, and send some of the fat to war. 
Our “Jack Spratt’? Mixtures of Radish seed, 
and Onion seed promote health and harmony 
in any family. 
Mr. Spratt, “I betcha”, grabs off one of 
those Crimson Giant Radishes that will grow 
as large as an egg without getting pithy, 
while Mrs. Spratt selects a white tipped 
smaller variety. Jackie Junior may reach for 
a long red, and Genevieve Spratt crunch an 
Icicle. And everybody happy! 
“Snappy Sudden Service’’ 
That’s a sample of slogans used by many 
business firms before the war. These times, 
we're thankful for any service at all! 
However, believe it or not, last season we 
actually did give “Snappy Sudden Service” in 
filling your mail orders for seeds. Most pack- 
ages were on their way within 48 hours from 
time orders were received. Some were filled 
same day received. 
Many customers 1,500 to 2,000 miles from 
Boulder were amazed when seeds arrived so 
promptly. We hope to do as well this year, 
though I’m not sticking my neck out so far 
as to plum guarantee such speed always. 
Here’s how YOU can help: Do as many did 
last year—mail us your orders before the 
big spring rush, the earlier the better. No 
need for ALL to order soon as catalogue ar- 
rives but the “Early Birds’ make it possible 
to give both early and late comers satisfactory 
service. 
As Gracie Field sings it: ‘‘All for one, and 
one for all.’”’ Cooperation helps a whale of a 
lot. That’s what we get from both Postal and 
Express service. They are doing a grand job. 
So, grab that order blank. Do it now, or 
soon. Thanks a lot.—JD. ;
