Word To Our Gastoners 
Again we offer our annual seed catalog to our customers and friends. We think of you as friends, because 
we believe that friendship and a successful business are built on the same foundation—mutual respect. 
We treat every order with the greatest consideration. Our aim is to send out only the best of seed, tested and 
of high germination. We pride ourselves on the good name we have earned in our area, based on our goods and our 
service. 
We also handle a large line of horticultural supplies, grass seed, annual flower seed, insecticides, plant foods 
and related sundries, as well as a good supply of toys and playground equipment, baby chicks and ducklings. 
Our fleet of delivery trucks is at the service of those living in Lancaster County. Beyond this area, we send 
by parcel post, freight or express. 
With best wishes for your 1954 garden,
