Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced gardener, we’re sure 
that you'll find much that is helpful in this catalog. You can begin 
to use it right now as a guide for your planting, then later on, use 
it as a guide to more effective action through the season. 
Many gardeners like to govern their planting by the phases of the 
moon, and we have compiled for them all the necessary information. 
It’s fascinating, and certainly worth a try. Be sure and look at the 
Moon Planting Guide on page 27. Although, as seedsmen, we can’t 
vouch for the effectiveness of this method, we are glad to provide 
this complete and up-to-date chart for those who want it. 
Have you ever wondered how deep seed should be planted? How 
far apart in rows? Time to maturity? Shape? When to plant? All 
these questions are answered for you in a handy Vegetable Plant- 
ing Guide found on page 38 of our Garden Annual. 
And flowers—there’s a complete Flower Garden Planning Guide on 
page 19, which will tell you which flowers you should plant for dry 
hot places—for a succession of blooms—shady locations—poor soil— 
edging—for the rock garden—for their foliage—fragrance—back- 
ground—In fact, everything you want to know before you start 
planning your flower garden. 
Explicit step by step instructions are given on page 20 to help you 
build and maintain a beautiful lawn. 
If you have any special problem with your lawn and haven’t been 
able to correct it, call on us. We’ve been working with lawns right 
here in this area for years and know the right seed and right diag- 
nosis for nearly any lawn problem you might have. 
All this and more information has been compiled in this book to 
help you towards better gardening, so plan now to use it as a hand- 
book all year round. And plan to come in and see us soon. 
By the way, if any of your gardening friends have not received this
