Dear Friends: 
As we begin the New Year, world problems are still front page news. Food is 
closely coupled to these problems, as it plays a large part in the cost of living 
and inflation, both here and abroad. We are going to be called on again to send 
large quantities of food to Europe and elsewhere. 
With the inflationary trend continuing, seed is one of the very few commodities 

that have ''held the line.'' Where, today, can you get so much value for so little, 
as you do in seeds? Food production in the home garden is more essential this year 
than ever before because it is a powerful weapon in the battle of inflation. You 1868 
can produce vegetables much cheaper than they can be bought. The value of the vOONE One Ey 
healthful exercise and recreation cannot be measured in dollars and cents. 
Again we bring you new items with this, our 1949 catalog, marking our 8lst year. 
We especially call your attention to our new and larger selection of roses and 
‘bulbs, also new varieties of flower seed for your added pleasure. 
All of our efforts will be contin- 
ued in bringing you only the highest 
quality and best varieties. Again we 
send you our best wishes for the New 
Year and thank you for your loyalty 
and patronage. 
Sincerely, 
1949
