THIS NEW 1946 CATALOGUE 
This new Catalogue still offers quality seeds 
at fair prices in spite of the tryimg condition 
that existed during the war. We are deter- 
mined more than ever to produce and offer the 
very best possible in seeds, and will start the 
year 1946 in that earnest effort. 
It has always been our contention that the 
very best in seeds, even at a higher price, is 
cheaper in the long run. We have devoted a 
ereat deal of time and expense to the specials 
that we offer, keeping in mind the correct type 
suitable for commercial growers and those that 
will produce the limit. Our prices are reason- 
able 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 
1946 plantings will prove entirely satisfactory. 
We have just finished making a new stock of 
Boston Marrow Squash. The field scene and 
illustration on the fourth cover will give you 
an idea as to the crop and the correct shape, 
but in our opinion something else enters into 
the different types of Boston Marrow Squash— 
and that is the color. Ours is the finest very 
deep red color that it is possible to make. 
Some of this Squash has been canned, and the 
processors declared it to be the finest ever 
offered. 
The other special we suggest is Rutabaga, 
Purple-Top Yellow Globe, a strain selected 
and produced on our own farms. In it you 
have a stock that will hold its shape even when 
it attains the limit in size. 
An illustration will be found on the third 
cover showing the especially large crop we 
produced this year for seed purposes.
