THE most common sense remark about seeds that we have heard in a good while was made by 

 an amateur gardener at Lenox, Mass. He said "what is the use of my sowing anything but 

 prize winning seeds — they are superior, or they wouldn't win prizes." 



That's a good text. On it is based Boddington's Quality Seeds, and because of it, we show 

 these Boddington prize winning vegetables that carried everything before them at the Lenox 

 Horticultural Show. Known all over the country for its high class. For three successive 

 years, Mr. Edwin Jenkins, Superintendent to Giraud Foster has carried off the laurels. He says in 

 a letter to us : "A large share of my success has been due to the Quality Seeds from Boddington's." 

 Boddington's Prize Winning Seeds then, are the seeds for you to plant this year, and all 

 the time. Send for 



BODDINGTON'S 1912 GARDEN GUIDE 



In it, all seeds that are under-ruled have been proven to be the best in their class — the 

 prize-winners. Follow the rules, and you will outgarden all your previous gardening successes. 



Select and order your seeds early, so you can plant your garden early and have that early 

 garden you have each year talked about having.
