 PLANT SEEDS NOW 



Grow Your Own and Enjoy Quality Supreme 



There is the greatest difference in the world between 

 home-grown vegetables gathered fresh in the morning from 

 one's own garden, and vegetables that have made a long 

 journey in wagons to the wholesale market, and then in 

 the grocer's wagon to his store, before completing the last 

 lap to the consumer. Grow your own, trie flavor is dif- 

 ferent, and the quality very much better. We offer below 

 a few varieties that are very easily grown and that we 

 know you will enjoy.
