A.S.T.A. European Garden Seed Assortments 
A Suitable Gift From You 
Do You Have Relatives or Friends In Western 
Europe, Who Need Food? 
Many Americans, desiring to help relatives and friends in 
Western Europe, have found that a gift of Vegetable Seeds, 
suitable for planting there, has been more appreciated, and 
of longer lasting value than gifts of fresh food. 
The Problem Of Food For Europe Affects 
Europeans And Americans. 
Even Americans opposed to having our nation undertake 
to feed Europe, seem to be agreed that we MUST do 
SOMETHING toward it. 
U. S. Department of Agriculture has asked Americans to 
plant Twenty Million FREEDOM Gardens, here in 1948, 
to help make more foods available for export to Europe. 
It would seem to follow logically that if we can help stimu- 
late a similar home garden movement in Europe, it would be 
bound to ease our home food situation. 
Dollar Exchange Shortage Prevents European 
Seedsmen Buying Seeds Here. 
Vegetable seed stocks in Europe cannot supply their de- 
mands, so countless Europeans will have no gardens without 
seed gifts from Americans. 
Committee On European Seed Assortments Of 
The American Seed Trade Association. 
A committee of outstanding Seedsmen has studied the 
vegetable seed needs of average families in European coun- 
tries of all latitudes, as to most suitable varieties and 
amounts of seeds needed, as recommended by the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture.
