Your Garden 
Your garden and what you raise is getting more prominent every day. Many of 
the Women’s Clubs are advocating planting a garden, and many varieties are so 
easily grown that a few small rows of each kind will give you the fresh, succu¬ 
lent vegetables that you cannot find in any market or grocery store. While we 
do not put out packet seeds, as such, we do offer to give you in thoroughly tested 
seeds.
