Down -to-earth help 
for garden planners 
This seed catalog, we’re proud to say, 
sets a new high record for helpful- 
ness. We believe it contains more real, 
solid gardening data than any seed 
catalog we've ever read. 
As you'll see, we have crammed this 
book with FACTS. We've set down 
here, as far as is humanly possible, 
the practical answers to the hundreds 
of questions that every seedsman is 
asked, every year. 
Whether you are an experienced gar- 
dener or a beginner, we're sure you'll 
find much that is helpful in these pages 
—now and later on. We suggest, then, 
that you can begin using this book the 
very day you receive it. Use it first as 
a guide for your planning—and later, 
as a guide for more effective action all 
through the season, 
Please note that our seed listings, in 
all departments are held down to sen- 
sible limits. We have selected, with 
great care, the varieties that we con- 
sider most suitable for our area—and 
we've stopped right there. You may 
see other catalogs with more volum- 
inous lists, but you won't find any more 
conscientious selections than ours. 
Because of rapidly changing mar- 
ket conditions we must remind 
you that
