VEGETABLES 
The varieties of Vegetables offered here have been carefully selected for their superior merits, and 
represent the choicest of the newest introductions and the favorite standard kinds. The seed is the 
finest obtainable, carefully cleaned and tested, and under good garden conditions will produce a 
bountiful crop of choice, luscious foods. Frankly, I doubt that it is cheaper to grow your own, for the 
commercially grown produce is quite reasonably purchased from local markets and farms. However, 
the sweetness of fresh picked Peas, Beans, Corn and other delicacies cannot be duplicated in the mar¬ 
kets, for even a few hours makes a world of difference in taste. The added thrill of seeing and possessing 
your own crops throws the balance in favor of growing your own vegetables.
