GARDEN AND FARM ANNUAL 1919. 



PEACE VIZ. PRODUCTION 



TO OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS:— 



VEGETABLE GARDEIV — no matter what size, bring's forth pleasure and profit. Althoug'h peace is practically as- 

 sured, yet tlae production of food is just as vital a necessity to-day, as it 'was during- wartime, and not until the 

 restoration of normal conditions can we depend upon our growers to supply the entire market again. The produc- 

 tion of all foods is very important, therefore, let us garden every available plot, thus helping to provide vegetables 

 and help to reduce the consumption of such foods as are more easily shipped across to our Soldiers and Allies. A well 

 planned and carefully kept garden is one of the most pleasant and satisfying services, which the city or surburban 

 families can offer. 



SEEDS — The best Seed is never too good. Seeds of doubtful quality are not worthy of trial. We have always maintained 

 an esteemed reputation for selling Seeds of best quality, tested and reliable, and under no condition do we allow any Seeds 

 to leave our establishment unless we know their source of origin and a satisfactory test assured. 



PLiAN EARLY and ORDER EARLY to avoid possible delay during our rush season. Read our instructions for hot-bed 

 management on page 2. We have arranged to include in our Catalog cultural instructions for all vegetables to enable the 

 amateur to be successful. These instructions apply chiefly to the amateur whose garden area is limited. Should you at any 

 time desire any information concerning anything relating to gardening, we invite your request for same, which shall have our 

 prompt and courteous attention. Yours respectfully, 



CURRIE BROS. CO.
