J UST as thoroughbred cows give more milk than the common 
kinds, so do pedigreed strains of vegetables yield bigger crops 
under all conditions. For over a half a century we have 
“bred” vegetables up to higher standards. To-day, Gregory' 
strains of popular vegetables enjoy a world-wide reputation. To 
careful New England methods of seed selection, Old England in 
particular, and Europe in general pay tribute by importing our 
strains. 
have always been one of our 
Uccls leading specialties. Our 
strains of Crosby’s Egyptian Beet, il- 
lustrated below, also Detroit Dark Red 
and Edmands Blood Turnip are recog- 
nized as the standard of perfection 
everywhere. To prove to readers of 
The Garden Magazine the inbred 
merits of our strains of these three fore- 
most sorts, we will mail one ounce of 
each, three ounces in all, enough for a 
season’s sowing for 55c. postpaid. 
( nrrnf C sr° wn from our home- 
KjUrtUls grown seeds produce 
bigger, better roots of a finer color than 
any others. Gregory’s Prize Danvers 
has helped make New England famous 
for that vegetable. Our strain of 
Chantenay rules the early market. 
Gregory’s Hutchinson, as shown above, 
is later, but outyields all. Try one 
packet of each (3 in all) for 30c. post- 
paid.

of it — enough for repeated sowings dur- 
ing the season — for 35 cents.

tables and flowers Many seeds we sell

Honest Seeds always do their part to 
crown the gardener's efforts with success.

have seen my business develop from an idea, into the largest Dahlia grow- 
ing establishment in the world. The past season I devoted 35 acres to 
Dahlias exclusively, on which I grew over four million plants. Notwith- 
standing the enormous scope of this enterprise it has not outgrown the 
ideals that dictate its policy. To grow as strong and healthy bulbs as 
good soil, climate and expert human care can produce is our daily work. 
To harvest, store and ship these bulbs guaranteed true-to-name is our 
great task and pleasure. The many first prizes which my Dahlias have 
won and are constantly winning at the leading 
exhibitions throughout the country are proof 
that my efforts are meeting with success and 
approval.
