 GARDENING EASY 



Just unwind American 

 Seed Tape from spool 



and plant the tape as directed. 

 Selected seeds are properly 

 spaced inside the paper tape 

 and fastened with glue fertilizer. 



This insures a quick, sturdy growth because the 

 paper attracts moisture to the already fertilized seed. 



Proper spacing- means no seed wasted— no thinning- 

 out. Each seed gets an equal chance to grow. 

 Straight rows make a beautiful garden. Plant the 

 easy, scientific way— the Seed Tape way. Eliminate 

 back-breaking labor and save time.

 Cabbage Seeds. 500 ft. in all. Correct planting instructions in

Over 400,000 fruit growers, gardeners and suburban dwellers 

 are getting best results with Goulds Sprayers. They like their 

 durability, their chemical resisting power, the ease with which 

 the force is developed to throw a spray strong enough to turn 

 leaves and enter every crack and crevice. They find Goulds 

 Sprayers most economical, because the minimum amount of 

 solution is necessary to spray most thoroughly. Goulds 

 Sprayers pay for themselves in the mixture they save alone.
