"Garden Profits,’ 
Mr. E.L. D. Seymour has just written a delightfully in- 
teresting book for Home Gardeners. 
It tells in simple terms how to plan your garden, just 
when to plant the different Vegetables and Flowers and 
just how to plant them. It gives authoritative and exact 
information that is easy to follow and that should be in the 
hands of everyone desiring to have a successful Home 
Garden. 
Mr. Seymour is the author of 
"The Garden Almanac," and is As- 
sociate Editor of the "Garden Mag- 
azine” and "Country Life in Amer- 
ica." 
The book is beautifully bound in 
boards, splendidly and abundantly il- 
lustrated in colors, and its regular 
price is $1.00. We will be glad to fur- 
nish those interested in the better Pak- 
ro Seedtape way of planting with a 
copy of Mr. Seymour’ s book and 3 
packages of Seedtape, totaling in 
value Si .30, for 50c. Simply send post 
office money order or stamps to-day 
for the book and Pakro Seedtape. 
'Way This Spring 
Try this better way of planting your garden. 
Get some Pakro Seedtape from your dealer and just plant 
the tape, a whole row at a time, at the depth stated on each 
package, moisten well and cover with earth. 
Pakro Seedtape consists of selected seeds spaced exactly the 
correct distance apart in a thin paper tape. Pakro Seedtape 
gives you a better garden with less labor because of the fol- 
lowing advantages: 
/ — Thoroughly tested seed. Every variety grown 
especially for us and selected by experts from the 
very best prize-winning strains. • 
2 — Saves time and labor. You can plant a whole 
row at a time instead of a few seeds at a time, and 
be sure of getting straight rows and a fine, even 
stand. 
3 — More economical. Only enough seeds are 
planted to insure proper growth. 
4 — No thinning out required. Proper spacing of 
seeds in tape makes this labor unnecessary. 
5 — Pakro grows better. The paper tape absorbs 
and holds moisture around the seed with the re- 
sult of a quicker and higher percentage of germi- 
nation and a stronger plant life. 
Pakro Seedtape comes in 30 varieties of vegetables and 
18 varieties of flowers. Get it from your dealer. Write 
for our beautifully illustrated free catalogue.
