Arthur Brisbane of the New 

 York Journal, says "Seed- 

 tape will start a million 

 new gardens" and he is 

 right, for Seedtape makes 

 gardening absolutely sure, 

 simple and easy. Even the 

 children find Seedtape gar- 

 dening easy. Heads of 

 agricultural colleges, editors 

 of magazines on farming 

 and gardening use Seedtape 

 for their own private 

 kitchen gardens. 



After using the specimens you sent me, 

 I think the use of Seedtape a convenient
