SPRING 1955 
NCE again we take pleasure in presenting our revised catalog for your 
garden and pet supplies. To simplify this year’s catalog we have omitted 
many of the less popular items. We hope you will feel free to ask us for 
anything you don’t see here, and for any help we may be able to give you 
on gardening. 
To replace some of the varieties we have dropped we have added several 
new flowers and vegetables. Many of them are the “All America” winners 
selected after rigid national performance trials. We recommend you to try 
these new items this year to keep abreast of the advances being made by 
American plant breeders. You will find the following varieties listed alphabe- 
tically in our catalog. This is their first year in any catalog: 
Prima Donna Petunia—Toreador Cockscomb—McKana’s Giant Colum- 
bine—Golden Beauty Sweet Corn—Pennsweet Muskmelon. 
We have considerably increased the size of our pet supply department. 
You will find it of help to you. 
Buildings vanish, but Platt’s goes on and on. We are now 78 years old and 
in a new store on State St., just three doors from the new municipal parking 
lot located on the site of our old building. In cooperation with the New Haven 
Chamber of Commerce Parking Plan we offer stamps to help defray your 
parking expense. Remember too, we offer free delivery service to the New 
Haven area. 
In addition to our State St. store we expect to open a nearby modern 
garden center in the near future. Watch your papers for the announcement. 
With our expanded facilities we hope to be able to be of greater service 
to you in 1955 than ever before.

All Seeds and Bulbs are sold under the Platt Guarantee 
We guarantee to the full amount of the purchase price all seeds and bulbs sold by us, 
and will replace or refund your money any time within a year if not entirely satisfied. 
Since gardening results are dependent on weather, soil and proper cultivation, we, in 
common with other seedsmen, give no warranty express or implied, as to the produc- 
tiveness of any seed or bulbs we sell and will not be in any way responsible for the 
crop. Our responsibility in all instances is limited to the purchase price of the seed 
or bulbs.
