FOREWORD 
1946 
VICTORY GARDENERS can take just pride 
in their wartime accomplishments in home food 
production. Together with our commercial 
farmers you joined in a triumphant symphony 
of this fertile land to produce not only our own 
food requirements but an abundant surplus for 
our allies as well. Now that peace is again with 
us, the lessons learned and the knowledge gained 
by the millions of Victory Gardeners in tilling 
the soil might well be directed to renaissance 
of the home landscape. 
The impetus of war to science brings many 
benefits to our gardens. There are almost mag- 
ical new chemicals to destroy insect pests which 
formerly defied control, others which control 
plant destroying fungi, selective weed killers 
that destroy dandelions and other lawn weeds 
without injury to the grass, and an endless array 
of new tools and accessories to make our tasks 
easier and our gardens more productive. 
This cataiog is not intended to place before 
you all the hundreds of articles we are prepared 
to supply, nor is it planned as a complete gar- 
den manual. We take issue with the practice 
of many seedsmen in listing an endless variety 
of vegetables and flowers when we all know that 

G 
many are very similar or identical with another 
and but a few are really superior. For that 
reason we have eliminated many from our list- 
ings and concentrated on those we know to be 
best. We carry many others in stock but we 
urge you to accept our recommendations as the 
best for Westchester. 
The union of interest between individual, 
community, village, town and city in horticul- 
ture, created by Victory Gardeners, should not 
be allowed to lapse. The same enthusiasm di- 
rected to the home and community landscape 
will contribute to a more beautiful America. 
Whether your interest is Tomatoes, Strawberries, 
the lawn or Delphiniums, the same friendly 
rivalries should continue. The modest home on 
a very small plot can and often does excel the 
imposing estate in beauty. Gardening is a health- 
ful form of recreation exacting little in cost for 
the many pleasant hours it brings in return.
