C.0.D. ORDERS 
The postal fee for collection on C. O. D. 
orders adds to the cost of your garden. 
We ask that you do not request us to

at the Post Office for too long when we 
are so short of help. It is cheaper for 
you to send payment with your order.

To Our Customer Friends— 
This is your copy of our 1952 Seed Catalog, (our 76th edition). The be- 
ginning of the fourth quarter of a Century in which our company has supplied the 
“World’s Best Seeds’’ to our customers all over America and to many friends overseas. 
We trust that the high quality of these seeds has given you generous supplies of de- 
licious vegetables and beautiful, prize-winning flowers. 
It is now time to think and talk and plan for your 1952 garden. The time 
you spend now in doing these three things, will bring you increased value and enjoy- 
ment from your garden efforts, so do not delay. 
Gardening in 1952 will have an added meaning, as there isa general im- 
pression throughout our country and it has been emphasized by The National Garden 
Bureau, that we must all plant Gardens for Defense of Home and Country.” 
Then there are other vital reasons too why we should plant gardens this 
year—remember the high cost of living? The high prices we have paid and will 
continue to pay for vegetables in the market can be forgotten if we grow our own. 
Home grown vegetables are so much fresher, tastier and so full of health giving 
vitamins. Home grown flowers are lovely too, in fact, all gardening is fun and costs so 
little, but its value is boundless in health and satisfaction. 
Be sure to get full value out of the cultural information, charts and variety 
descriptions which this catalog contains, for thousands have found that the information 
is accurate and will provide the solution to many problems. 
IF you live in the Greater Cleveland area, come to our Retail Store, where 
you may obtain further help with your garden problems. We have a large, complete 
garden supply store in the front of our building at 5700 Detroit Avenue, and you will 
enjoy seeing the many attractive displays of Seeds, Bulbs, Garden Accessories, Tools,
