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. poneve order-blank from the cata- 
og. : 
2. Fill in your complete name and 
address.

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 shipped 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. 
k 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— 
This is your copy of our 1947 Seed Catalog, (our 71st annual edition). 
With it, we present our thanks for the orders you have sent us in the past. 
ve trust that your garden results gave you generous supplies of fine, fresh food and beautiful 
owers. 
It is now time to think and talk and plan for your 1947 garden. The time 
you spend now in doing those three things will bring you increased value and enjoyment from 
your garden efforts, so do not delay. 
There still seems to be a general impression in all parts of the Country, 
that our job of feeding the world could come a cropper if we would have one bad growing 
year for commercial food crops. 
It seems to me that it would be pretty smart insurance if every person in 
America who can plant even a few vegetables, would do so, to guard against the possibility 
| just mentioned. It is fun and costs little but, boy, it would be worth a lot if we needed it! The 
worst part is that we cannot second-guess on this, after the gardening season is over. We have to 
uess now and act now if we want the insurance. | am going to take a little and | hope you do. 
hea | hope Nature gives us such bountiful crops that they will not be needed. 
Be sure to get full value out of the cultural information, charts and variety 
descriptions which this catalog contains, for thousands have learned that the information is 
accurate and will provide the solution 
for many problems. 
We shall appreciate it if you will 
send your order to us early. 
Yours for a successful garden, 
a 
President.
