Here’s how to order ‘Seeds That Grow”

For over three generations this company 
has been watching over the growers’ inter- 
ests to make sure that the home gardener, 
the farmer, and the commercial gardener all 
get the most out of their gardening efforts. 
Remember, when you buy seeds you buy a 
hidden value. You can’t tell by looking at 
seeds what they will produce. But when you 
buy seeds with the OLDS’ label, you can 
rely absolutely on their quality. 
Plan your 1949 garden now. And for your 
own protection, PLACE YOUR ORDER 
EARLY. ! 
You’re as close to us as to your mailbox. 
From this complete seed book you can shop 
in convenience and comfort, away from the 
noise and rush of the crowd. It’s the easy, 
simple, pleasant way to do your seed shop-
