Start spraying the plants in the garden 

 before the insects get a start. It's too late 

 after the damage is done. 



Plant all vine seeds in warm soil; they 

 may rot if the soil is cold. 



Be sure to thin plants to the distances 

 given on Ferry's seed packets; both flow- 

 ers and vegetables need lots of room to 

 grow. 



Soak beet seeds over night before plant- 

 ing if the garden soil is dry. 



That pretty little perennial, Cerastium 

 tomentosum (Snow-in-summer), makes a 

 suitable ground cover for a shady spot 

 where grass doesn't grow well. 



Radishes do better if grown in a different 

 place each year. 



A plot 30 X 50 feet will supply a family 

 of four or five with fresh vegetables all 

 summer with plenty left over for canning. 



Your dealer will be glad to get special 

 flower or vegetable seed items for you. 



Select seeds of one or two new vegetables 

 or flowers. They'll add interest to your 

 garden. 



Grow a few flowers just for fragrance, — 

 mignonette, heliotrope, nicotiana, sweet 

 alyssum, for example. 



If weeds come up in your newly planted 

 lawn, don't blame the grass seed; most 

 soils contain hundreds of weed seeds wait- 

 ing for a chance to grow. 



Tomato vines make a good winter 

 mulch for perennials that need protection. 



Mix fine soil or sand with small seeds 

 before sowing; it saves thinning. 



There's no bother and no delay when 

 you buy your seeds from the Ferry Display. 



Recipe for attractive edging: Mix one 

 part Lilac Queen Alyssum seed with four 

 parts Carpet of Snow Alyssum seed and 

 two parts clean sand. Sow mixture evenly 

 in prepared soil in foreground of flower 

 border. 



Be sure to plant succession crops of 

 your favorite sweet corn; then you'll 

 enjoy corn-on-the-cob for a long season. 



Use a sharp knife or shears when you 

 cut flowers; twisting or pulling them off 

 may harm the plant. 



Make meals more tasty and appetizing 

 with home-grown herb seasonings. 



If you want lots of beans from small 

 space, choose pole varieties.
