HELLO NEIGHBOR! 



This book is o 

 Complete Guide 



Do you know exactly how much 

 lettuce seed fo plant for the number 

 of feet of row you want? 



... or what kind of soil you need 

 for cucumbers? And how to get it? 



. . . or what are the reasons behind 

 inter-cropping^ catch-cropping, and 

 succession cropping? 



... or the special fertilizer needs of 

 dahlias? 



In this "Garden Annual" you'll find the 

 answers to hundreds of questions like these! 

 Unlike most seed catalogs, this book devotes 

 nearly half its space to the "How-when-whe'e- 

 why" of gardening. 



You see, we want your garden to be a rous- 

 ing success! We want you to get the most 

 'esults with the least effort. We want your 

 gardening to be fun. 



So, in this book as in o^- sto^e, //e do 

 everything possible to help tne ga'oene's .'/e 

 serve. 



Our job as seedsmen, we believe, is to pro- 

 vide know-how, as well as merchandise. We 

 provide it through our Spring Garaen An- 

 nuals. We keep on providing it in our sto'e 

 throughout the year!

Just between us home folks— 



As you've already noticed, this "Garden Annual" comes to you 

 from a neighbor. Unlike most seed catalogs, it's a local affair. 

 That's very important, we think. 



For one thing, it m.eans that this book tells about local gardening 

 — and offers you seeds and garden materials suited to your own 

 area and your own growing conditions. It means, also, that you 

 don't have to send a thousand miles away to get what you want 

 for your garden. You can get the very best, right here in your own 

 neighborhood! 



Another very important point — as you know, there are many 

 flower and vegetable seed varieties which do well in some 

 areas, but are uncertain in other parts of the country. So we 

 always make sure the seed we offer is truly suitable for use 

 hereabouts. Often we rule out very attractive varieties, because 

 we want your garden to be successful, from^ start to finish! 



Isn't it just good sense, then, to do your garden shopping here — 

 where your needs ore understood! Certainly it's easier — and 

 safer!
