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. pemere 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. 
4. Enclose your order and pay for it 
in the return envelope you re- 
ceived with the catalog. 
5. 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. ; 
WHEN DO WE DELIVER? 
All orders will be delivered promptly. If 
your order includes both ‘‘Postpaid"’ and 
“Not Postpaid” items, the Postpaid items 
may be shioped by mail and the “Not 
Postpaid’ items separately, but both 
promptly. 
POSTPAID PRICES 
Catalog prices include delivery on all 
seeds and many of the smaller garden 
supplies. 
HOW TO PAY 
Pay by Postal Note, 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. 
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. 
GARDEN SUPPLIES 
In our headquarters here in Cleveland, we 
operate one of the most complete retail 
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 
have to pay freight or express charges on 
all items in that catalog, if you live more 
than 50 miles from Cleveland.

To Our Customers: — 
You doubtless wonder what the ending of the war has done to the seed 
situation. So far, almost nothing, because both V-E and V-J Day came after seed crops had 
been planted. However, a few varieties have come in from Denmark, Holland and England 
so that they are now available for the first time since the war began. Production of seed will 
increase rapidly this year and | believe by next year supplies will look more normal, with 
nearly a complete list of varieties. Work by our hybridists on new varieties will be resumed 
where it left off in 1941. 
What the war has taught you about producing fresh vegetables for your 
own table, with their low cost, superior flavor, quality, crispness and appearance, will lead you 
to continue this phase of gardening to help meet your food requirements. 
Without being unpatriotic, you can now increase the space you wish to 
devote to flowers. Annual flowers, which complete their life cycles in one short summer season, 
afford you quantities of flowers all summer at very small seed cost. Most may be sown right in 
the garden where they are to bloom. A few, like Asters, benefit from starting seed indoors in 
shallow wooden flats in the winter, to be ready to transplant into the garden at the end of 
spring frosts. 
Perennials, hardy enough to remain in the garden over winter, afford you 
a tremendous saving in cost of plants for your permanent garden, as compared with buying 
plants grown on a nursery. 
Our best wishes 
for months of pleasure and_ profit 
from your garden this year go to you 
with this 70th annual edition of our 
catalog. We shall be looking forward 
to early arrival of your order for 
seeds.
