THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



251 



1,0002 Profit 



sounds like the wildest kind of a "Get-Rich-Quick" scheme but it is an 

 absolute and conservative statement of what has been and is being accom- 

 plished every year at an expense of a few dollars for Henderson's Seeds and 

 Fertilizers. In the present acute agitation of the 



igh Cost of Living 



sufficient emphasis has not been placed 

 'on the possibility of every man holding 

 a partial solution of this grave question 

 in his own hands, of every consumer 

 'being his own producer. At an expense 

 of a few dollars in seeds and fertilizers, 

 a small plot of ground, even so small as 

 25 x 50 feet, will grow all the vegetables an average family 

 will consume. During the summer half of your living ex- 

 pense is for the things that should come out of your own 

 garden. Latter day methods and higher quality of seeds 

 have made it possible to cultivate the small tract so that a 

 plot 25 x 50 feet with a reasonable amount of cultivation 

 and planted with seeds of high germination should supply 

 all the vegetables required by a family of six or seven. 

 You do not have to share the profits of your own garden 

 with jobbers, middlemen or retailers. 



Health Insurance 



It is a well established fact that, during the summer season, 

 fresh vegetables are a healthful, pleasant and desirable 

 substitute for meat, and, with the exercise in the open, are 

 a more positive insurance of health than any policy ever 

 written. 



"Garden Guide and Record" 



is a book of 68 pages of concise but complete cultural di- 

 rections and general garden information of every kind. It 

 contains in addition a new departure in nine pages of infor- 

 mation as to canning, preserving and drying of vegetables, 

 fruits, etc., selected for us by the world famous Mrs. Rorer. 

 We consider it one of the most valuable of our many 

 publications. 



To get the above information and results 

 send for our catalogue 



"Everything for the Garden" 



is the title of our annual catalogue. It is a book of 212 

 pages, handsomely bound, with a beautifully embossed cover, 

 8 colored plates and 80 illustrations, most of them half- 

 tones, direct from photographs, showing actual results with- 

 out exaggeration. It is a library of everything worth while, 

 either in farm or garden.
