Utilize That Backyard Garden 



to reduce the cost of living. Many vegetables are quite ornamental and lend themselves to producing beautiful gardens quite as 

 much as flowers. Of course, you have to work more in a vegetable garden, as every square foot of ground should be kept constantly 

 "busy". But the crisp, delicious vegetables you gather in your own garden cannot be duplicated from the green grocer at any price. 

 Besides, you have the satisfaction of seeing the things grow, you know what you are eating and you eat it when it's "just right". 

 Gardening on a small scale is enjoying great popularity. It offers the chances for exercise many men and housewives need. It gives 

 immediate returns for every effort invested, and the longer you are at it, the more fascinating it becomes. Let us urge you to have 

 a garden in 1914. Get started with one, no matter how small — you will have a larger one next year. 



Gregory's Fine New Catalog Helps 



Gives reliable advice on all matters pertaining to the garden. Tells all about the 

 soil and its preparation for the various vegetables, how to sow the seeds and when. 

 Describes the most profitable vegetables to grow in home-gardens and shows 

 many of them in "true to nature" illustrations. More than fifty years' experience in 

 growing vegetables and flowers on a large and small scale comes to your assistance 

 through our catalog. You will get larger and more expensive books, but for a reliable 

 garden guide with dependable descriptions, truthful illustrations and honest 

 prices for "Honest Seeds", Gregory's catalog cannot be beaten. Ask for your free 

 copy on a post card to-day, or, better still, write a letter and let us send you
