Everything You Need For Your 

 Home Garden 



REGARDLESS of business booms or panics, taxes, election politics 

 and rising prices, Nature's motto continues to be, "Business as 

 usual." Three things the gardener can bank on — sunshine and rain and 

 good Mother Earth. 



These, with his own creative toil, a pleasure in itself and rendered 

 doubly pleasant by easy tools and modern short-cuts, can always be 

 made to produce bounteous returns in lovely flowers and luscious vege- 

 tables — better than money can buy. 



But even Nature, however well assisted, cannot produce good crops 

 from poor seeds. Fortunately the cost of good seeds is insignificant 

 measured by the extra results they produce. Make sure, therefore, that 

 the seeds and bulbs you put in the ground are the right kind — true to 

 type, vigorous and productive. 



Lifetime experience as gardeners and seedsmen enables the Beckert 

 Seed and Bulb Company to offer an unusually complete and highly 

 specialized garden service. You will find this little book a safe guide. 

 It has been made handy size for handy use. It describes the best seeds 

 it is possible to grow and everything necessary to make your 1924 garden 

 a source of profit, recreation and health.
