HORMONE TREATED 
All of our garden seeds (vegetable and flower) are HORMONE TREATED. 
We pioneered by offering HAVALAWN grass seed Hormone Treated—an advance- 
ment which we adopted after extensive research and experiment. The beneficial effect 
of Hormones has been proven. 
Hormones speed germination, induce sturdier root 
growth and more luxurious plant growth, and better crops. 
Remember, though, that our Hormone treatment is scientifically applied. The proper 
application to the seeds and the proper care of the seeds after the application are nec- 
essary to secure desired results. 
For those reasons we do not feel that our Hormone 
Treated seeds can be successfully handled by the ordinary retail outlets. 
So for your 
satisfaction and protection, “Pure and Sure” seeds (vegetable and flower) Hormone 
Treated are sold at our store exclusively. 
Prices quoted herein are subject to change without

OF EARLY ORDERING. It is not only a convenience to

for your seeds, when you should be planting. Our service 
will please you even during the busy season. Send your

other way.

remittance to guarantee acceptance.

PLEASE NOTE—ABOUT 
NON-WARRANTY. Most of the failures with seeds, plants 
and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our control, 
such as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, too deep or 
too shallow planting, etc., which renders it impossible for us 
to guarantee success, and although we take all possible 
care to supply only such goods as will, under proper condi- 
tions, produce satisfactory results, we still give no warranty 
as to description, quality or productivenses of any of the
