Mere’s a real help 
for garden planners 
As you’ll see, we have crammed this 
book with FACTS. We’ve set down 
here, as far as is humanly possible, 
the practical answers to the hundreds 
of questions that every seedsman is 
asked, every year. 
Whether you are an experienced gar- 
dener or a beginner, we’re sure you'll 
find much that is helpful in these pages 
—now and later on. We suggest, then, 
that you can begin using this book the 
very day you receive it. Use it first as 
a guide for your planning—and later, 
as a guide for more effective action all 
through the season.

Gardening is a Family Affair—Everybody benefits 
Here's a Friendly Greeting from 
YOUR SEED STORE 
--> @ message from a seedsman who lives 
works and gardens right here in your 
own home territory 
This year we are proud to bring you our 1951 Garden Annual. It 
is far more than a seed catalog, it is a practical gardening reference 
book. We are sure you will find our book so useful and valuable you 
will want to keep it around for a long, long time. 
Our job as we see it, is to competently serve the gardeners and 
growers of our own area. We work always with the needs of our own 
neighbors’ gardens in mind. Our stocks are carefully and conscien- 
tiously selected to meet local needs—because we sincerely believe this 
is an important objective that insures the ultimate harvesting success 
of our gardening neighbors. 
Don’t you agree then, that it is wise to shop here where your own 
gardening needs and problems are understood, than to shop afar for 
seeds and supplies? 
Gardening is a family affair—and our family wishes yours success 
in your gardening activity during the coming year. May we see you 
soon... and often. 
PRICES: All prices in this catalog are subject to change without notice.
