In selecting for you the Vegetables and Flower Seeds included in this collection, I have considered very carefully 
varieties that I use myself in my own backyard garden and have included quantity sufficient of all of them so that 
you will have plenty of fresh vegetables all summer long. In addition, I am including a packet of my Dwarf Finest 
Mixed Nasturtiums and a packet of my Supreme Spencer Mixed Sweet Peas. I want all of you to have a nice flower 
garden this season as well as vegetables. There is enough good seed here to produce plenty of vegetables all summer 
for a family of five. “Remember this collection cannot be broken.” It is put up in large quantities early in the season 
before the big rush comes on which enables me to give you such wonderful values for so little money.
