Farm Aid Helps Home Gardens 
The war-time cost of living which is maintained by government subsidies, has 
helped hold demand for packet seeds near war-time levels. Substantial savings can 
be made by growing your own vegetables, and this is realized by the thousands of 
new home owners, who have occupied the new subdivisions surrounding all cities. 
The trend toward suburban living for all solvent families has many causes, and 
may never be reversed. The threat of atomic war, deterioration of our aging cities 
and the high cost of crowding, all tend to discourage new development in congested 
centers. Look for long-term growth in the garden market and prepare to hold your 
share of it by offering beginners expert advice and service. 
Vaughan’'s Seed Store helps you do this by listing in this catalogue all the garden 
goods which we have found desirable for a progressive seed store to carry. 
Besides our seeds and bulbs, all the gadgets, tools, insecticides, weed killers, 
hormones, and other chemical aids and fertilizers which you should offer can be 
found listed here at lowest prices, and can be ordered from our nearest branch, to 
reach you in a matter of hours.
