THE BEAUTY STAMPEDE IS ON! 
But Don’t Let Your Victory Garden Become a Memory 
A year ago we cautioned against stampeding back to ornamentals for practical and 
commensense reasons. 
The War was not yet won. 
Now there is nothing in the way to prevent a complete abandonment of the vegetable 
garden except for a yearning and appetite for home-grown vegetables the flavor of which 
cannot be matched by anything bought in town or country. 
We have always catered to a great many home vegetable producers long before World 
War | and World War II, and we anticipate a continued demand from those who insist 
on the best for the table in this Post-War period. 
The ultra-active demand for spring-blooming bulbs this past autumn has convinced us 
that Americans are primarily lovers of beauty, and we do not doubt, therefore, that home 
food production will take a back seat for the time being. 
Whatever the demand may be it matters little to us for we are prepared and equipped 
as usual to render a complete gardening service in our painstaking manner. We are con- 
fident of our ability to handle any volume of business in 1946 much more easily than 
any time in the past five years. However, transportation is still in a snarl, skilled and in- 
terested labor is still scarce, and it will require many hours of overtime during the spring 
shipping season to execute our orders.

way responsible for the crop. If the
