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 nationa! 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 important 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!” 
About stems not listed hore... 
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. 


Remember—we know your 
lawn needs and we are 
exceedingly conscientious 
in taking care of 
them. So— 
“Put your lawn 
in our hands.” 
NON-WARRANTY CLAUSE — Success with seeds, bulbs, etc., depends largely on 
weather conditions and proper cultivation, so in accordance with the universal 
custom of the seed trade we give no warranty, express or implied, as to the 
productiveness of any seeds, bulbs or plants we sell and will not be in any way 
responsible for the crop. Our liability is limited to the purchase price of the seed, 
bulbs or plants.
