Market Gardeners’ 
WHOLESALE CATALOG 
High Grade Seeds, Implements, 
Fertilizers, Twines, and 
Market Gardeners’ Requisites 
In presenting our 1947 catalog, we desire first of all to thank our customers for the business entrusted to us 
last year and for the many fine testimonials received. A goodly number state that all the seeds came up to or 
surpassed expectations and produced excellent crops. 
Never was the need for high grade seeds greater than it is today. With cost of operating being extremely 
high it is obvious that losses of crops due to poor seeds must be avoided. When you use SLUIS’ SEEDS you 
get, at no extra cost, the benefit of 38 years experience in growing and selecting better varieties. In addition, 
we test all our seeds right in our own plant and show germination on every package or bag. 
Stocks of seeds, insecticides and rubber bands are plentiful, with prices on a downward trend. Implements 
are still hard to get, but the outlook is improving. We believe a fair supply will be available next spring. 
Demand for fertilizer is so great that manufacturers are unable to handle all of it in time. The situation on 
jute twine looks very bad. Due to a short crop of jute fiber in India, plus general unrest in that country, ship- 
ments have been delayed and the mills in this country are suffering from lack of materials. 
enough cotton twine to help out. 
We shall be glad to serve you at any time.
