February, 1951 
Dear Mr. Dealer: 
Fifty-five years ago we started in business. Great 
advancements have been made during that time. Sev- 
eral new varieties have been developed and presented to 
the ‘trade. Many old standbys are still with us and 
_ probably always will be. Look over this spring price 
list and send us a list of your requirements. — o 
: A year ago we thought things looked better in this | 
country and abroad, but now we could almost say its = 
the same as 1941. Worldwide insecurity again brings — 
with it a sense of responsibility. Runaway prices and 
nagging thoughts of shortages in food and other lines 
plague us all. : 
In war and in peace, food is the first bastion of de- 
fense and seed comes first. But Seed requires good 
soil to produce. . The soils of Europe are worn out and 
have not had time to be repaired. This country will 
again stand the blunt of furnishing a large part of their 
requirements. | | 
Now, What can we do about it? We hate to think 
of the term, “Victory Gardens” again, but it looks like 
that is what it is going to be. The small gardener can ~ 
help alot. Every bushel of corn, every peck of potatoes | 
and every pound of carrots, beets, onions, etc. will help. 
They will cut down the demand on the large growers 
and at the same time furnish the family with fresh 
srown vegetables. We urge you to encourage the © 
building of small gardens in your community. 
We will be pleased to receive your order and assure — 
you high quality seeds and prompt service. Bs, 
Very truly yours
