Dear Friends: 
As-we enter our 83rd year of contin- 
uous service to the farmers and gar- 
deners of America, world conditions 
are again unsettled. Regardless of 
the trend of world events, your gar- 
den will be a valuable hedge against 
inflation. While costs have risen 
sharply on practically every commodity, 
you will find Salzers have ‘‘held the 
line.’’ Our products represent the best 
values to be had, and remember, when 
you buy Salzer’s Seed, Plants and Bulbs, 
you are buying satisfaction, for results 
are what really count. 
A large garden this year will mean 
a lower cost of living for you, plus the 
pleasure and healthful relaxation you 
derive, and delight and beauty from 
flowers and plants. 
' With our 1951 catalog, Salzer’s send 
you their greetings and best wishes for 
the New Year, and sincere appreciation 
for your continued patronage.
