The question has often been asked me what seeds, and what quantities of seeds, I would recommend for a small Family 



Garden. So many letters of the same character, coming constantly to hand in the busy season, suggested 



the idea that in this year's catalogue I should present a diagram for a Family Garden of Quarter of 



an Acre, together with a list of the seeds required and date of sowing. Above will be 



found the diagram; below I give the list of Seeds required, etc., etc.:
