BRAND'S VEGETABLE SEEDS 
SELECTED VEGETABLE SEEDS 
We handle only vegetable seed of the finest quality. We carry in the main 
those varieties that over a period of years have appealed the most to our per¬ 
sonal observations as being the best. We are sending our packet seed out in a 
10c packet. Our observations lead us to believe that in many cases the 5c packet 
does not carry quite enough seed for the average garden. For that reason we 
put out a 10c packet which simply gives one that much more seed.
