FLOWERS for SWEETHEARTS 
OR 
FOOD for 
BABIES 
WLt have they in common? One thing . . . Both must be of the best 
. . . carefully selected and of proven quality. Certainly, no one would consider 
third or fourth grade food for baby . . . neither would the gallant swain pre¬ 
sent any but the choicest blooms to the object of his affections. 
And to those to whom quality is important, these facts are equally true of 
any product, but more so, we believe, in the production of seeds. It takes years 
of careful selection by specialized experts to produce the parent stock from 
which the finest flowers or vegetables are developed. For more than a century 
the Robert Buist Company has contributed largely to the joy derived from 
American gardens. The satisfaction of a home garden can only be described by 
those who have experienced the feel of its soil and the pleasure of its cultiva¬ 
tion, and tasted a delicious ear of corn or a vine-ripened tomato flavored with 
the pride of personal achievement. 
As a hostess, have you ever been thrilled by the praise of your guests for 
some freshly cut flowers from your garden? What a crowning glory to the 
many hours of intimate association and care devoted to each little flower, from 
seed to maturity. 
The productiveness of your garden and the pleasure and satisfaction you 
will derive from it will be in direct proportion to the quality of the seeds that 
you plant. You cannot expect satisfactory results from the hit-or-miss brands 
which are offered at "so-called” cut prices. 
Seeds represent such a small part of the cost of your garden that you are 
never justified in buying on any but a quality basis. Buist’s Seeds are the finest 
you can buy . . . honest . . . trustworthy . . . completely dependable. 
REMEMBER... 
It is the crop that counts, 
Not what you pay for the seeds.
