To You, Our Customers 
E ARE sending you this copy of our 1951 Catalog to help you plan the very best garden you ever had. 
Here in one of the richest agricultural sections in the entire United States, that is a large order. We are 
happy to know that the folks who read our catalog are critical gardeners. They know the value of good 
seeds and they cannot be deceived by high-pressure sales methods. For that reason we are all the more proud of 
the fact that so many of them come to the Farmers Supply Co., Lancaster’s largest seed store, year after year, 
for all their garden seeds and supplies. 
Whether you are a truck farmer or home gardener, you will find here the vegetable and farm seeds that will 
make your garden a worthwhile venture. It pays to plant only the very best seed, and that is all we offer you 
here at Farmers Supply—tested, high-germimating seed free of weeds. 
We also have a large line of horticultural supplies, grass seed, annual flower seed, insecticides, plant foods 
and related sundries. It is impossible to list them all in our catalog. We hope you will get the habit of dropping 
in our store and looking around. You will see a great deal of interest, and we shall be glad to help you find just 
what you want. We also carry a full line of toys and playground equipment, as well as baby chicks and ducklings. 
We welcome mail orders. Be sure to send them early, so that we can give them our best attention. 
With best wishes for your 1951 garden,
