HAVE YOUR GARDEN FURNISH A FULL SUPPLY 
OF VEGETABLES THIS SUMMER AND FALL 
ALL VEGETABLE SEEDS in quantities offered in this Catalog are DELIVERED, TRANSPORTATION PAID, any- 
where in the United States, we reserving the privilege of shipping either by PARCEL POST, EXPRESS or FREIGHT. 
A little effort will give you fresh vegetables all Summer and Autumn and the surplus may be canned or otherwise stored. Con- 
tinuous plantings, as explained in this catalogue under the headings of various vegetables, will enable you to do this successfully. Use 
all available space, and not only grow sufficient for immediate use, but also a supply to be stored for winter. As the various crops 
mature, utilize the space made vacant and grow additional supplies. 
In the latitude of Philadelphia, Beans may be planted up to 
August Ist, Sugar Corn up to July 20th, and Early Peas for fall use may be planted up to the middle of August, while farther South 
later sowings may be made. A sowing of all the different root-crops should be made as these will all keep well over winter if stored 
in a cool cellar or outhouse.
