This book is 
a working tool 

Gardeners, the country over, 
are neighborly people. 
So we think it’s important to 
note that this Garden Annual 
comes to you from a neighbor. 
It is a localized garden book, 
not a national one. 
We're sure you'll find a book of 
this type more interesting and 
more useful than the more generalized books which come 
from afar. We want you to receive it as a friendly mes- 
sage from one neighbor to another. 
Anticipating one umportant question... 
We can report that vegetable and flower seeds of every 
type are in good supply once more. 

In garden supply lines, metal shortages are still holding 
back the production of some items. The situation here is 
improving, but is not yet normal. We have done our best 
to take care of our customers’ needs — and can assure 
you “if it's available, you can get it here!” 
This Garden Annual of ours is 
far more than a seed catalog. 
As you'll soon see, it is a very 
About tems not listed hore... 
complete gardening book. 
From end to end, we've 
crowded this book with prac- 
tical, usable facts on how to 
make your garden more fruit- 
ful and your home more 
beautiful. Whether you're an 
oldtimer or new at gardening, 
you'll find invaluble help here. 
So keep this book on hand 
throughout the season! The 
more you use it, the better 
your garden will be!

We have devoted a great deal of space in this book to 
pure gardening information. Our lists of seeds and sup- 
plies are therefore held down somewhat. All the truly 
essential items are here. But if you seek items not listed, 
please ask us for them. If we don't have them in stock, 
we'll undoubtedly know where to get them for you. 
About flowers... 
Interest in growing food at home will still run high. But 
a great many gardeners who gave up the joy of flower 
gardening during the war years tell us they are going 
to make up for lost time now. We have built up our 
stocks of flower seeds accordingly — and have a wonder- 
ful assortment ready for you. .
