How To Have A Constant Supply 

 Of "Greens" 



THE discovery of vita- 

 mines has brought out 

 the remarkable part which 

 the whole group of "greens" 

 and salad vegetables plays 

 in promoting human health 

 and vigor. Besides supply- 

 ing the essential vitamines in 

 quickly available form, they 

 are rich in healthful mineral 

 salts and exercise a particu- 

 larly beneficial efTect on all 

 the digestive processes. Fresh 

 "greens" are not always to be Lettuce 

 had in the markets, but fortunately they can easily be grown in the 

 home garden. 



The table below tells what seeds to sow and when to sow them in order 

 to have a variety of healthful greens and salads from earliest spring, all 

 summer and fall, and even through the winter months. The varieties 

 named are those which can most easily be grown to perfection under 

 average conditions in their proper seasons. The quantities of seed 

 indicated are sufficient to provide for the average family of five, with 

 occasionally some to give the neighbors. Full directions for growing 

 each kind are given under their respective headings in this catalog. 

 This is a complete "health garden" in itself and may well serve as the 

 foundation for every garden plan.
