Hunt’s Perfection Vegetable Seeds 
In spite of the fact that the commercial 
gardener can supply most vegetables during the 
summer at less than what it costs the consumer 
in time and labor to raise them himself, market 
vegetables, no matter how expeditiously and 
scientifically marketed, are never as good as 
those grown in the home-garden. 
People who have never grown their own peas 
and sweet corn, for instance, are in total 
ignorance of the true flavor of those delicious 
vegetables. Besides, there is always the added 
spice of triumphant achievement in producing 
the vegetables for family use from the home plot. 
If there is space, such crops as mature under¬ 
ground-potatoes, turnips, parsnips, carrots, 
and so on—can be grown cheaply in quantity, 
and may be stored in the cellar in autumn and 
kept until wanted for use. Garden space and 
garden enthusiasm are all that are needed to 
produce greater quantities of those staple 
things of better quality and at less cost than 
they can be purchased.
