1946 

Markel Gardeners’ 
WHOLESALE CATALOG 
High Grade Seeds, Implements, 
Fertilizers, Twines, and 
Market Gardeners’ Requisites 
The supply of seeds on hand for 1946 is quite ample for normal requirements. Germination tests just made 
show high vitality and vigor. Nothing has been left undone to insure you getting the best quality. Our aim is 
to develop new varieties and improve on the old strains where possible. Prices on many items have been re- 
duced in line with our policy of supplying the best for the least cost. 
Rubber Bands are plentiful and have more stretch and strength compared to last year. By combining natural 
with synthetic rubber a greatly superior band is obtained. 
Many growers have struggled through the war period with old tools which should have been junked before. 
While orders for Seeders, Wheel Hoes and Tractors are coming in fast we hope to take care of all your needs 
for machines or parts. 
Sales of fertilizers will be limited to three items: Nitrate of Soda, Pulverized Sheep and Pulverized Cow 
manure. 
Twines for bunching and tying have been and still are scarce but should be available when the bunching 
season begins, 
We wish to thank all of you who have contributed so much to our success in the past and trust we may have 
the pleasure of serving you again. Others are invited to join the happy crowd of satisfied customers.
