SPECIAL FOR SMALL GARDENS —$2.00 worth of Bolgiano's Reliable 

 Garden Seed will produce from $100 to $200 worth of vegetables in any 

 good Kitchen Garden. When vegetables come fresh, each meal, from 

 your own jarden, they are very delicious. 



U. S. Dept. Agriculture Bulletin entitled "The Vegetable Garden" 



" The Small Garden probably pays belter than any other land on the 

 place. The average value of Garden Stuff to the acre "was found to be 

 $147.17 while for Wheat the average was only $11.65. In addition to this 

 the GARDEN may be a bountiful source of quiet pleasure," 



ENCOURAGE GOOD HEALTH BY THE FREE USE 

 OF VEGETABLES. 



Nearly every vegetable furnishes some constituent required by the 

 system, that is otherwise not easily obtained except as a medicine. 



Asparagus assists in the cure of kidney disorders. Beets and pota- 

 toes will add fat to the body. Carrots are excellent for indigestion. 

 Garlic and leeks stimulate the circulation. lettuce is a remedy for 

 insomnia, lettuce, onions and celery are tonics for the nerves. 

 Onions are a germicide and also prevent malarial fever. Parsley as- 

 sists good digestion. It is a boor, to the dyspeptic. Parsnips are two 

 to one ahead of Hood's orany other sarsaparilla. Peas and beans are 

 most nutritious and are flesh-formers. Spinach has the same effect on 

 the system as "blue pills." It is a kidney cure. Tomatoes will stimu- 

 late the torpid liver. Water cress braces up the system. 

 The liberal use of seasonable vegetables as they come in throughout 

 the year will save doctors' bills and do more to keep the family in good 

 health and good spirits than a well-filled medicine chest.
