Dear Friends: 
We at Platt’s want to help you to gain greater pleasure and benefit from your Garden in 
1954. We want you to look to us for advice with your gardening problems as our thousands 
of loyal customers have done throughout our 77 years of continuous service to the gardeners 
of Connecticut and surrounding states. 
We sincerely believe that in this day of ever-increasing costs your returns from any money 
you may spend on seed, whether it be Flowers or Vegetables, will be far greater than you can 
hope to find elsewhere. Platt’s Seeds are Economical; with average care you can obtain your 
season’s supply of any vegetable from a packet selling in nearly all cases for less than the cost of 
one carton of the same vegetable at your frozen food counter. Just compare the baskets of 
garden-fresh produce with the size of a can or carton of the same processed food in your 
market. Naturally the same comparison on Flowers will be just as convincing that all seeds 
offer more in relation to their cost than any other commodity you can purchase today. 
As an added inducement to encourage early ordering, we will give all customers who place 
an order amounting to $4.00 or more with us before March Ist this year, any two packets of 
flower or vegetable seed of their choice. 
Frank S. Platt Company 
“The kiss of the sun for pardon, 
The song of the birds for mirth; 
You are nearer God’s heart in a garden 
Than anywhere else on earth.”
