1947 
Nor for many years has our sense of political responsibility 
been cheered as it was by the recent elections. Evidently 
Americans have “had enuf.” Until results of the election can 
become effective, politicians and labor leaders will continue to 
keep our national economy in a tense muddle, but business will 
go merrily on. Financial forecasters seem agreed that it will 
continue doing so the coming year, but with slowly declining 
prices. This should leave us feeling free to grow all the good 
stock we can. But price uncertainties should hold back un- 
necessary future obligations. | 
Our business is exclusively with the critical florist grower. 
This means we do all possible to supply the best and most 
profitable strains available in better “Flower Seeds for Flo- 
rists.”’ It doesn’t mean that we are always 
100% in this business of course, but we do ae Gall 
try to reach that goal.

AIR MAIL DELIVERY! 
Wiru 5c per ounce air mail effective last October 1st and more frequent service, air transportation is becoming 
a definite advantage in the shipment of seed. Effective January Ist, 1947 we will ship your FLOWER seed 
order back by AIR MAIL if: 
1. you send your order to us by air mail; 
2. the seeds total less than 8 ozs. (flower seeds only); and 
3. if, in our judgement air mail will save time in getting your seed to you. 
We of course pay‘this air mail postage. If your order totals over 8 ozs. or includes vegetable seed, and you are 
in a hurry we suggest you send sufficient extra remittance and specify AIR SHIPMENT; your express agent 
can give you air express rates from West Chicago to you. Air delivery is particularly important to our Eastern, 
Southern, Western and Canadian customers. We will, of course, continue to pay ALL transportation on seed 
orders in any quantity sent by rail in U.S. and Canada.
