Get the Most fromYour Seeds and Plants 
This book has been written for the amateur flower and vegetable grower. Through it we hope to help 
you have a garden this season that will be better than any you have ever had before. We have not 
attempted to catalogue all of the varieties of flowers and vegetables under cultivation, but have confined 
ourselves to those which have proved themselves, in the gardens of our customers, to be the most satis¬ 
factory. We want you to know that our interest in the success of your garden extends beyond the filling 
of your seed and plant order, and if there is any way in which we can be of help to you in the selection 
of varieties, the planting, or in the care and cultivation of flowers and vegetables, to feel absolutely free 
to call on us for advice.
