GARDENING vs. INELATION 
A comparative inspection of our 1940 Catalog with our current issue will prove that 
no line of endeavor has “held the line’’ more than the seed business. 
Many items are priced at the same level as in 1940 while others are actually less; 
increases will be found mainly in sundry hardware items over which we have no control. 
The economic situation today calls for food production on the same scale as in Vic- 
tory Gardening days. Canning equipment and material should be utilized for many more 
reasons that one can imagine. 
First: Vegetables can be produced cheaper and better than they can be bought. 
Second: There is no cheaper recreation than gardening. 
Third: There is no healthier sport than gardening. 
Fourth: Staying at home with the garden removes the necessity and temptation to 
spend at inflationary prices, and 
Fifth: The returns in beauty from your flowers and good eating from your vegetables 
are tangible assets that can only be evaluated in the glow of satisfaction one attains 
from a job well done. 
Count on us to maintain our record of understanding service and the handling of only 
the finest in horticultural material.

ence the ultimate results. It is for that
