You Can Depend Upon 



This Catalogue 



[VXUR CATALOGUE of Flower and Vegetable Seeds for 

 [ the Home Garden tells you how and when to plant. It can 

 be depended upon as an authority on seeds and their plant- 

 ing, for it was written by Charles H. Vick, America's best 

 known and most thoroughly informed seedsman. 



All Hart 8C Vick seeds are tested under the personal 

 supervision of Mr. Vick. 



There are no inferior varieties in our stock. All our 



seeds are easy to plant and varieties are thoroughly tested 



for quality, hardiness and yield. Among our list are 



many new varieties of vegetables — a new cucumber, 



pepper and a crisp-as-ice lettuce, for instance.

 Seeds for the Home Garden.

HODGSONSM 



On Boston Common 



A colony of Hodgson Portable Houses sprang up on Boston Common to 

 meet war- workers' needs. Did you see them there ? A state food official 

 said in part: "The promptness with which 

 you executed the work and the delightful 

 neatness of your cottages have brought ad- 

 miration from everybody." 



Hodgson Houses were in cities and towns 

 about, wherever there was need for good 

 houses in a hurry. Even Belgium boasted a 

 100-bed Hodgson hospital. 



Your Hodgson House should be ordered 

 now. They arrive in painted sections ready 

 to set up — skilled workmen unnecessary. 



Everything from 10-room cottages to dog 

 houses and bird houses.
