and more profit. 
Vegetables for Your Own Table 
Thereisnomoresatisfactory way of obtaining good fresh vegetables of the best quality for your 
own use than to grow them in your own garden, and gather them just as you need them. 
Vegetables begin to lose their tenderness and good flavor very soon after they have been 
gathered, and when they have lain in the market for a day orevenseveral hours they have lost 
much of their best qualities. Consider also the convenience of being able to step into your 
garden and select a nice fresh lot of several varieties just when you are ready to prepare your 
dinner.

What Are All American 
Selections or Varieties? 
For the past two years the American Seed Trade Association has appointed a committee 
to pass on the merits of newly introduced varieties of vegetable and flower seeds. The 
committee is made up of experts from various parts of the country, who are given samples 
to try out under their local conditions. At the end of the season, the members of the com¬ 
mittee give awards to the outstanding varieties. Under this method widespread expert 
opinions may be obtained on varieties, opinions that are free from the prejudice of the 
particular introducers. In our listings we include many varieties that have been given these 
awards and have so marked them in the descriptions. We feel that the All American Award 
is simply a further symbol of the value of the variety in question.
