WHEN TO ORDER 
Order early. We fill orders in the rotation 
in which they arrive and promptly. Early 
orders always find a complete stock. 
Early orders help us spread out the spring 
tush, too. We do a better job, you get 
every item you order. 
HOW TO ORDER 
Please use the order-blank. It is easy for 
you to use and it helps us to do everything 
exactly right when we fill the order. Five 
easy steps: 
1. Remove order-blank from the cata- 
og. 
2. Fill in your complete name and 
address. 
3. List the seeds and other items you 
need. Left-hand column is for 
quantity you order; next column 
for variety number; next space for 
name of what you order; last 
column for price, and when order 
is completed, space at the bottom 
or on the back for you to total the 
figures. 
4. Enclose your order and pay for it 
in the return envelope you re- 
ceived with the catalog. 
5. The 25c rebate coupon is for use 
on the seed part of your order 
only. It does not apply on pur- 
chases of other garden supplies, 
which prices are net. 
WHEN DO WE DELIVER? 
All orders will be delivered promptly. If 
your order includes both ‘‘Postpaid"’ and 
‘Not Postpaid” items, the Postpaid items 
may be shipped by mail and the ‘Not 
Postpaid’ items separately, but both 
promptly. 
POSTPAID PRICES 
Catalog prices include delivery on all 
seeds and many of the smaller garden 
supplies. 
HOW TO PAY 
Pay by Postal Note, Money Order or 
Check. In case you must pay by cash or 
stamps, be sure to register the envelope 
for safety. 
C.0.D. ORDERS 
The postal fee for collection on C. O. D. 
orders adds to the cost of your garden. 
We ask that you do not request us to 
ship C. O. D. It means standing in line 
at the Post Office for too long when we 
are so short of help. It is cheaper for 
you to send payment with your order. 
GARDEN SUPPLIES 
In our headquarters here in Cleveland, we 
operate one of the most complete retail 
seed stores in the United States. A wide 
range of fertilizers, insecticides and garden 
accessories are on display for those who 
come to our building to do their garden 
buying. 
OUR GUARANTEE 
We guarantee the safe arrival of all seeds 
you order from us, that they will be as 
represented and in condition to grow satis- 
factorily if planted and cared for properly. 
Any item or items not found to be satis- 
factory will be replaced free of charge or 
we will refund the price you paid us for 
same if reported to us promptly. It is 
agreed that we shall in no case be liable 
for more than the actual price paid for 
items found to be unsatisfactory, if any. 
We do not guarantee garden accessories 
and manufactured articles.

To Our Customers— 
Here is your copy of our 1950 Seed Catalog. With this catalog we present our thanks 
for the orders we have received from you in the past, and trust that your garden results from 
our seeds gave you a generous supply of beautiful flowers and fresh vegetables. 
Right now while the days are cold and the garden bare, is the best time to plan your 
1950 garden of Flowers and Vegetables. Our planting Charts on pages 19 and 33 will be of 
help to you in planting the items with which you may have had little experience. The charts 
give you dates for planting seeds in both the north and the south, colors, heights and uses to 
which flowers are best suited, also whether they like sun or shade. You will find how many seeds 
are required to plant a row of vegetable seeds, how far apart and how deep to plant the seeds, 
and the number of days it takes to bring the vegetables to maturity. . 
Draw a plan of your home grounds today, decide where and what flowers to plant 
to make your home a showplace for color and beauty, both on the outside with gay flower 
beds, and on the inside with glorious cut-flowers. Now while you are enjoying the vegetables 
from your last fall canning and deep freeze, or from the corner grocery, decide which vege- 
tables you want for next year’s garden and how much space to give each kind. Make your 
plans to order enough seeds of some kinds so that you can plant your favorites at intervals of a 
few days and thereby have a continuous supply of those vegetables from early summer right 
through until late fall. 
You are aware that our top quality Templin-Bradley Seeds are used in thousands 
of homes all over the United States and in many homes overseas. A New Zealand customer 
won city-wide honors at Christchurch, with plants grown from our seeds, far south of the equator. 
An Ohio customer tells us that he harvested more than 1000 ears of corn from one pound of our 
Hybrid Bantam Sweet Corn. The ears cost him 1c for each 20 ears. Can anyone afford to miss 
this eating pleasure, fresh corn from the garden in summer, and from the deep freeze in winter, 
and think of the savings in food costs? 
Remember, we shall be looking for your order just as soon as you can send it to us. 
The coupon attached to the order blank is a money saving feature, so be sure to take advan- 
tage of it. 
Our best wishes to you for your 1950 garden.
