It's high time you got your heads together 

 and selected your Boddington Quality Seeds 



ONE of the keen joys of gardening is to plan your garden far enough ahead 

 so you can browse through the catalogs and select and talk over the seeds 

 you are going to grow. An evening so spent is a pretty sure preventative 

 against wishing, when too late, that you had bought Boddington's seeds (our 

 $5000 prize winning Sweet Peas, for example). It might also save you from 

 chiding yourself for taking up so much space in your garden with over praised 

 novelties that didn't tally up to some catalog's too glowing descriptions and promises. 

 In short — snap-shot gardening is bad gardening. 

 So try our way this year by getting 



Boddington's Garden Guide 



now, and doing the first half of your successful gardening on paper. 



It's the sure way of having the last half genuinely satisfactory. 



Besides the regular " Quality " assortment of flowers and vegetables listed, 

 this Garden Guide contains some expert growing hints that you will enjoy compar- 

 ing with your own experience and agreeing or perhaps disagreeing with. Then 

 there are some 1 or 12 pages of " new things " — the latest novelties produced 

 in either this country or England. You will want to know all about these and be 

 among the first to try some. Boddington's 1912 Garden Guide is mailed free 

 on request. 



By way of suggestion, here are three specials, one or all of which you will 

 surely want. 



$5000 Prize Sweet Pea Quartet. 



Paradise Carmine — clear, lovely carmine, waved. 

 Constance Oliver — delicate pink, suffused with cream
