Why You Should Secure Your 



Vegetable Seeds from a Specialist 



Why 



The need of carefully planning the vegetable garden is more apparent this year than ever before. We must feed the 

 world. We must not only make more gardens, but better gardens. The gardens must be made to yield more, and any 

 uncertainties about the expected yields must be reduced to a minimum. Here is where the specialist comes in. 



Vegetable seeds produced by a specialist are as nearly fool-proof as men can make them. They have been grown under 

 the most exacting conditions, been subjected to 

 searching tests as to vitality, and the purity of 

 their pedigree is the best guarantee that they'll 

 behave as their parents did, 

 and bear the kind of crops 

 gardeners are looking for. The 

 hobbyist who plants Gregory's 

 Honest Seeds turns results in 

 the garden from a gamble into 

 a reasonable certainty.

Thoroughbred 

 Vegetable Seeds our 

 Specialty for 62 Years 



When the founder of our 

 house started in business, 

 home gardens were much more 

 of a source of food than they 

 are to-day. New England's 

 Vegetable Gardens have al- 

 ways been famous because of 

 the exacting seed require- 

 ments of the people. These 

 we have filled for 62 years, 

 and the character of the gar- 

 dens made with Gregory's 

 Honest Seeds bears witness to 

 their inbred qualities. These 

 we maintain by exercising 

 unceasing care in growing 

 them, on our own farms. 



New England's 



Famous Pies and 



Gregory Squashes 



Seed requirements peculiar 

 to certain sections exercise 

 very strong influences in busi- 

 ness development. Because 

 New England is particularly fond 

 of pies, we started early to provide 

 seeds of the best sorts suitable for 

 being turned into particularly pal- 

 atable food. Working along well-de- 

 fined lines toward improved types 

 and strains, we have originated more 

 Squashes of real merit than any other 

 seedsman. To-day, the name Gregory 

 stands as a synonym for the best 

 in Squashes.
