Save One-Half 
Your Table Expense 
F ifty percent of your table expense during the 
greater part of the year is for things that could easily 
be grown in your own garden.—At such a time as 
the present food conservation is of vital importance but 
your own garden means more ^han food saving: it means 
the creation of food. Every article on your table that 
comes crisp and fresh from your own garden counts 
double in the economic resources of our country. Every 
plot of available ground should be utilized- to the best 
advantage. Not only more gardens but better gardens is the urgent need. 
Better gardens can be had ])y the use of higher ([uality of seeds and l^y improving tlie 
methods of planting. The seventy-one years of experience in seed raising and selling 
that is behind every packet ot Henderson’s seeds should and does make them the best 
that it is possible to obtain. Henderson’s Tested Seeds are all that the name implies.
