WHEN TO ORDER 
Order early. We fill orders in the rotation 
in which they arrive and promptly. Early 
orders always find a complete stock. 
Early orders help us spread out the spring 
tush, too. We do a better job, you get 
every item you order. 
HOW TO ORDER 
Please use the order-blank. It is easy for 
you to use and it helps us to do everything 
exactly right when we fill the order. Five 
easy steps: 
“1. Remove order-blank from the cata- 
og. 
2. Fill in your complete name and 
address. 
3. List the seeds and other items you 
need. Left-hand column is for 
quantity you order; next column 
for variety number; next space for 
name of what you order; last 
column for price, and when order 
is completed, space at the bottom 
or on the back for you to total the 
figures.

. The 25c rebate coupon is for use 
on the seed part of your order 
only. It does not apply on pur- 
chases of other garden supplies, 
which prices are net. 
HOW TO PAY 
Pay by Money Order or Check. In case 
you must pay by cash or stamps, be sure 
to register the envelope for safety. 
C.0.D. ORDERS 
The postal fee for collection on C. O. D. 
orders adds to the cost of your garden. In 
peace times we welcome C. O. D. orders, 
but for the duration we ask that you do 
not request us to ship C. O. D. It means 
standing in line at the Post Office for too 
long when we are so short of help. It is 
cheaper for you to send payment with 
your order.

To Our Customers: 
There WILL BE a National Victory Garden Program in 
1945. Your participation, no matter how large or small your 
garden, will be important in the national results. | hope you will 
make your plans early. 
Every pound of vegetables you grew last year contrib- 
uted more than its retail value toward supplying civilian needs. 
It freed canned vegetables required for the armed forces here 
and abroad. Multiply the results from your own garden by the 
more than twenty million people who participated and you get 
an idea of the total tonnage so produced. Grow plenty this 
year. 
Ration points on canned vegetables and juices will 
disturb everyone as long as the war lasts. The only safe position 
is to have plenty in your cellar when next fall comes. No ration 
points on what you produce at home. Let every inch of produc- 
tive space in your yard work for you this year. 
Plenty of money to buy food does not assure getting it 
if you do not have the points. You will be wise to keep vege- 
tables out of the “Hard to get,” or ‘Off the market,”’ class. 
About bulbs. We shall not list bulbs until the war is 
over, for production is now too uncertain to make an offer in 
January for delivery at planting time. This step hurts, but it will 
save you disappointment and you will appreciate them more 
when we again feel it safe to make an offer. 
You may have‘ flowers without bulbs. An assortment 
from our complete line of annual and perennial seed will keep 
your garden colorful and cheerful all summer. The British 
learned that flowers help keep up the morale and we are learn- 
ing it too in this country. 
We are proud of the war records of members of our 
staff and their families. As | write this, only one that | know of is 
hospitalized. One of our girls, a WAC Corporal was decorated 
in Italy by General Clark. Wish you could have been here the 
day it was broadcast! We hope those of your family are safe, 
wherever they are. 
Now, the best of luck for this year’s garden efforts.

GARDEN SUPPLIES 
In our headquarters here in Cleveland, we 
operate one of the most complete retaii 
seed stores in the United States. A wide 
range of fertilizers, insecticides and garden 
accessories are on display for those who 
come to our building to do their garden 
buying. 
If all of our many; many thousands of 
customers were located nearby, we could 
quote delivered prices on the heavy items 
like Fertilizers, Peat Moss and others. 
However, they are located in every one of 
the 48 states, and in a good many cases 
the transportation charges would be 
greater than the price of the merchandise. 
For this reason, we print a separate 
catalog listing garden supplies other than 
seed, mainly for the use of our nearby 
customers. However, if any customer, 
anywhere in the United States desires a 
copy, one will be sent free upon receipt of 
your request, with the knowledge that you 
liave to pay freight or express charges on 
all items in that catalog, if you live more 
than 50 miles from Cleveland.
