In this “Garden Annual‘ you'll find the

nearly half its space to the ''How-when-where- 
why" of gardening. 
You see, we want your garden to be a rous- 
ing success! We want you to get the most 
results with the least effort. We want your 
gardening to be fun.

everything possible to help the gardeners we

Our job as seedsmen, we believe, is to pro-

provide it through our Spring Garden An- 
nuals. We keep on providing it in our store, 
throughout the year!

Just between us home folks— 
As you've already noticed, this Garden Annual comes to you 
from a neighbor. Unlike most seed catalogs, it’s a local affair. 
That's very important, we think. 
For one thing, it means that this book tells about gardening in 
the Dayton area—and offers you seeds and garden materials 
suited to the soils and growing conditions in the Dayton area. It 
also means that you don't have to send a thousand miles away 
to get what you want for your garden. You can get the very best 
right here at 107-109 East Third Street. 
Here's another important point: In selecting our stocks, we always 
keep in mind the needs and preferences of our customers... our 
neighbors. So, we always make sure that the seed we offer are 
those that will give the best results in the Dayton area, regard- 
less of what they'll do in other parts of the country. And in pass- 
ing on the benefit of our experience, we have already helped you 
off to a good start on your garden the minute you buy your seed 
in our store. 
So, success to you! And may we see you soon ... and often.
