AMERICA* • • Greetings! 
Here's something I believe you will like to know about. It seems like it was only yester¬ 
day that Mother and I started our own son, Leonard, Jr., growing vegetables and market¬ 
ing them by the roadside. On the opposite page you may see the picture of him with his wheel¬ 
barrow just loaded down with Tasty, Fresh vegetables that he actually grew himself. This 
picture was taken a long time ago—to be exact, 16 years. Now he is grown up and is a 
great help to me. You'll find his picture as he looks now on page two. His Mother and I 
kept account for many years of the value of his vegetable garden—all through the lower 
grades and then during his four years in high school. You'll be surprised how much it 
totalled up and how much he got out of it. He actually earned $121.76, but of far greater 
value were the joy and satisfaction he got from planting a tiny seed and watching it grow ; 
into a delicious, tasty, fresh vegetable. >■ 
Girls Like Gardening Too! 
Later, our Mary came to us. Like all sweet little 
girls she dearly loved flowers. When she was just 
3 years old we took her picture with her little arms full of sweet peas, and here it is right 
on this page. Every year since then Mary has had her own flower garden and gets more 
pleasure out of it than from most anything else she does. This year she graduates from col¬ 
lege. So, you see, Time Marches On. 
GARDEN THIS 
SPRING 
Mary and Leonard Jr. Suggested This! 
The children were talking with Mother and me only 
the other night about how much they got out of their 
gardens and it was they who suggested giving you 
girls and boys the same advantages they had. So 
here is your great Opportunity and we know you 
will thank us for it as long as you live. Your parents 
will see at a glance that we cannot have any profit in this 
special offer to you. What we really want is for you to 
have a Garden ALL YOUR OWN. Start this Spring, and 
as you grow older and have a family of your own, you 
and yours will always have a grateful thought for Con¬ 
don Brothers, who first gave you the inspiration. 
Remember what we said in the beginning, garden¬ 
ing is great fun—besides you can make enough 
money each year to buy lots of things you really 
want. Mother and Dad will be delighted to help 
you, we are sure. Just ask them now. Now read our 
great offers, and get 
ready to start your 
own garden this spring. 
START YOUR 
As Easy As 
"Falling Off 
a Log" 
You will find full in¬ 
structions for planting' 
and caring for your flow¬ 
ers and vegetables printed 
right on every seed 
packet. Think of the fun 
you’ll have watching 
them grow from tiny 
seeds into glorious vege¬ 
tables and flowers.
