Custemers and Qriends: 
FOOD IS TODAY THE WORLD’S MOST 
CRITICAL PROBLEM. EUROPE LACKS 
MANPOWER, FARM MACHINERY AND 
FERTILIZER. SEEDS ARE SCARCE 
BECAUSE OF LAST WINTERS’ SEVERE 
WEATHER. DOLLARS TO PURCHASE 
THESE ITEMS ARE ALSO LACKING. 
THE TREMENDOUS QUANTITIES OF 
FOOD THAT WE HAVE SENT AND 
WILL CONTINUE TO SEND HAVE 
DRIVEN PRICES TO ALL-TIME HIGHS. 
THE ONLY WAY TO RELIEVE THIS 
SITUATION IS MORE PRODUCTION. 
THE HOME GARDENER CAN HELP BY 
PLANTING A BIG GARDEN. THE GOAL 
THIS YEAR IS 20,000,000 HOME GAR- 
DENS. 
A SECOND WAY TO HELP IS TO SEND 
A GARDEN SEED ASSORTMENT TO 
SOMEONE IN EUROPE SO THAT HE 
CAN PRODUCE HIS OWN FOOD. THIS 
ASSORTMENT IS DESCRIBED ON THE 
NEXT PAGE AND WILL PRODUCE UP 
TO 5 TONS OF. VEGETABLES FOR 
WINTER STORAGE. 
WISHING YOU A SUCCESSFUL GAR- 
DEN IN 1948, e
