Dear Friends: 
We all look forward to the year of 1949 with hope and faith in a better 
future for the world. May the peace for which we have striven and the freedom 
of the peoples for whom we have struggled now be attained with a permanent 
sense of lasting security and may the years ahead be more enjoyable in a 
world at ease and in contentment. 
While the food situation has greatly improved and the impoverished 
peoples across the waters less in want, there is still much to be desired in 
connection with adequate supplies. Fortunately, we have in our country some 
of the largest grain and corn crops on record and while the meat situation is 
somewhat improved, the cost of living is still high and the food cost can be 
lowered only by our own production. 
Our government desires that we again plant and produce as much of our 
own food as is possible. By doing so, we not only help defeat the high cost of 
food but produce fresher foods with finer flavor which means Better Living 
with Better Health and more wea!th. 
It is our desire to cooperate in every manner possible with our friends 
and so in our 1949 catalog we have again endeavored to be concise and to con- 
serve in expenditures so we may offer our products more advantageously than 
we could do otherwise. 
We anticipate the pleasure of serving you this season. Your order will be 
filled with seeds of highest quality and vitality and it is our hope that you 
will enjoy a productive garden in 1949.
