T gives me great pleasure to present to you this revised, enlarged gardening cat- 
alog, containing a great many items that have been in short supply. Into thie catalog 
goes the results of my 55 years of experience in the seed business in Denver; 34 years 
of which have been in the management of The Colorado Seed Company. 
In all these years, in my memory, there has never been a period quite like this, a 
post-war era with every effort being made to increase production of essential items and 
thus increase the value of one’s own labor in order to have the things that we want and 
to meet the rising costs of living. 
You can help to do both, to the fullest extent of your enthusiasm, and with measur- 
able returns equal to your every effort, by planting, caring for, an@-harvesting your own 
home garden. It’s a lot of fun and can be very profitable. You will be most surprised 
at the quantity and quality of the vegetables and flowers that can be grown in a sea- 
son. A small plot will supply all the vegetables required for the average family and 
for canning, too. Utilize the space that you have available, plant good seeds for good 
results. 
That’s where we come in as “partners.” A small gardening investment in time and 
money promises manyfold returns this season. This catalog is our invitation to you to 
order the seeds, garden tools and sundry items that you will need; we will do our part 
in supplying you with dependable quality merchandise. 
You can order by mail with confidence or visit with us at our store for personal se- 
lection. In either case, may your harvest be bountiful! 
Sincerely, 
PRESIDENT 
THE COLORADO SEED CO.
