PWITIU Vli/AY IIP NARTH “inuring the past two years we have planted seeds bought

the best in this part of the city of St. Paul, and attracted much attention. The plants bought from

STOP THE HIGH COST OF LIVING 
“Two of us, working in Atlanta and living seven miles from the center of town, decided to live together last summer while our 
families were away from home. We had a good garden, a cow an d a few chickens. Our total expenses lor over two months, eating 
two meals a day at home, were thirty-live cents for sugar. We had to eat lunch down town in the middle of the day, each lunch 
costing about seventy-five cents for each of us and a much poorer meal than any we had at home. That certainly opened my eyes 
to what you have been ‘preaching’ for many years and I shall always have a good big garden from Hastings’ Seeds in the future.” 
Experiences, such as by these two men, should show everybody that it certainly pays well to grow everything possibly needed on 
the home X)lace, whether in town or country. In this garden last year were fifteen different vegetables and we were told that there 
was not a single day during the entire year but that some vegetabie could be gathered from this garden. 
Keeping up a big full garden will certainly cut the store bills down and the wholesome food will make the whole family happy and 
healthy all the time. Plant many kinds of vegetables this year and keep the garden producing full time.
