Early Crops Mean Big Prices 



The sooner your early vegetables are on the market, the higher the prices they com- 

 mand. You know this and you know also that our 



Hardy Northern Grown Seeds ^row fastest, mature earliest, and make lare- 

 . ' est crops. You know why. The Northern 



grrowmg- season is shorter, plants grrow quicker and mature sooner. This makes them 

 strong: and sturdy. Their vitality is g-reater. Their seeds sprout very quickly, grow very 

 rapidly and mature in the shortest possible time. This means early crops. Early crops 

 mean first markets, and first markets mean fancy prices. Try it yourself and see.
