64 JANUARY 1949 









There can be no reserves of FRESH vegetables, ex- 
cepting those growing in gardens. The abundant supply 
to which we have become accustomed, could be changed 
to a shortage. 
FRESH VEGETABLES play a vital part in combating 
malnutrition and supply the necessary vitamins for the 
added energy we all must have. 
WcCullough’s Seeds have been on the market for over 
one hundred years. We pride ourselves on this reputa- 
tion. We spend a great deal of time, effort and labor to 
supply seeds and gardening supplies that are, to the 
best of our knowledge, of the highest quality. We have 
often been asked if we ‘‘guarantee or warrant our seeds.” 
We answer that we can not, for the reason that practical 
experience has assured us that there are many hazards 
beyond the control of the seedsman, such as weather 
conditions, insects, and difference in soil. Many times we 
have observed a planting of the best of seeds to fail; 
and, later a planting from the same lot of seeds, result 
in an excellent crop. 





















Many of our customers have not forgotten the scarcity 
of food during the past few years. Through necessity 
they planted gardens for their own use and have learned 
to enjoy fresh vegetables and beautiful flowers from 
their gardens—besides learning the benefits derived from 
producing something with their own hands. In the days 
ahead, there is a definite place in the American home 
life for the family garden. It is primarily a real source 
of pleasure as well as security. 
We all are still living in a very uncertain post-war 
period. Transportation is not as it’should be. Therefore, 
we urge you to place your order as early as possible so 
we can give you the kind of service we know you want. 
We promise our full co-operation. 
Seeds by Mail, Etc. 
Lawn Grass Seed, Vegetable and Flower Seeds will be 
forwarded postpaid at catalog prices. All other items 
are priced f.o.b. Cincinnati. 
“OUR SEEDS GROW FRIENDS” 


MATURITY DATES: Following most varieties of 
vegetables is a numeral which represents days re- 
quired to produce vegetables ready for table use. 
Weather conditions, time of planting, etc., affect the 
time of maturity, and these figures will vary from 
year to year. These figures are intended primarily to 
afford a basis of comparison rather than to state a 
rigid interval between the planting and harvesting. 

Suggestions for Ordering 
In pricing the items in this catalog, we have been re- 
quired to anticipate such problems as difficulties in 
securing certain lines of merchandise due to possible 
new taxes on some articles that would raise their prices 
seed shortages—and other situations. 
It will be our purpose to fill your orders completely, 
promptly and at the prices quoted in this catalog. How- 
ever, if circumstances prevent this, it may be necessary 
on some items to delay your order, substitute, or ask 
for a higher price. We recommend that your orders be 
placed as early as possible. 

Price Changes 
We reserve the right to advance or, decline with 
the market when necessary within the law on any 
item listed in this catalog. 

The J. Chas. McCullough Seed Co. give no warranty, 
expressed or implied. as to the productiveness of any 
seeds, bulbs. or plants we sell, and will not be in any 
way responsible for the crop. Our liability, in all in- 
stances, is limited to the purchase price paid. CONDI- 
TIONS OF ACCEFTANCE:—AII contracts, sales, book- 
ings and agreements are subject to acceptance at our 
Cincinnati Office and are contingent upon war, strikes, 
riots, accidents, fires, floods, shortages and other con- 
ditions beyond our control. Any change in freight or 
insurance rates affecting any contract will be for the 
purchaser's account.
