OUR NEW ADDRESS 
About a month ago we moved to our new address. 
We are glad that we made this change as we now have 
ample space and facilities to take care of our increasing 
business. Small orders for parcel post or express shipment 
are handled separately, while heavier deliveries are 
efficiently handled through the freight entrance on Jones 
Alley. Our facilities are excellent for large motor freight 
consignmenis. 
Come and visit us when you are in New York and 
make our office your headquarters. 678 Broadway is easily 
accessible to all parts of the city, just telephone us, 
Gramercy 7-7540 for directions. 
Kindly change our address on your mailing list so 
that we will receive your letters without delay. 
FLOWER SEEDS 
Flower Seeds are listed on pages 4-12. Some 1952 crop 
items are already available and others arriving daily. 
If you need early delivery to start your pack we can be 
of help to you. Let us know what you require. 
We represent in this country T. Sakata & Co., Yoko- 
hama, Japan who have introduced many new Flowers and 
Vegetable Seeds to the trade, among them, All Double 
Petunias, Petunia Glow and First Lady as well as Celosia 
Flame of Fire. Since they produce large quantities of 
Flower Seeds for the American Trade it will pay you to 
consider them as your source of supply when you place 
your contracts for your future requirements. Send us 
your list for quotations. 
While it seems inconceivable that the shortages of 
last year (remember the scramble for Zinnia and Astor 
Seed) will be repeated, the availability of Flower Seeds 
should be considered. Acreage is smaller than usual, 
yields are not heavy and the demand certainly better. 
Therefore, we recommend early orders and a conservative 
increase in inventory. 
Write us about your requirements of high germinating 
Salvia Seed. 
VEGETABLE SEEDS 
ONION — Fortunately we have a small importation of 
Island grown 1952 crop Excel 986, also a few bags of 
domestic 1951 crop Excel available. 
Yellow and Red Bermuda and Crystal Wax are now 
ready for delivery, also Red Creole. 
CABBAGE — Watch your supply closely. Some varieties 
are already in short supply. Carry-over has disappeared 
and European Crops are short. 
TURNIP SHOGOIN — We produced a crop in the north- 
west from stock seed supplied by the originator. A small 
quantity of this fine seed will be available after filling 
our contracts. For 1953 T. Sakata & Co., are again con- 
tracting at attractive prices. Write to us for quotations 
which mean real fine quality and a worth while saving. 
TOMATO — We need Grothens Globe for immediate ship- 
ment. Can you supply? Available are choice stocks of 
Marglobe and Valiant, see Page 3 for complete list.
