those which we would be satisfied with for our own planting.

ANOTHER SERVI 
All G arden Seed Treated To 
CE BY GURNEY’S 
Destroy Seed Borne Diseases 
Certain diseases of vegetables are carried on the seed and may cause the 
loss of your entire crop. Gurney’s have insured you against losses caused in 
this manner. 
All garden seed sold by us is treated here at Yankton before it is sent to 
you. This treatment absolutely kills all seed borne diseases and, also, in¬ 
creases the germination and vigor of the seed. This is rather costly both in 
labor and material, but is a service you have a right to expect from your 
seed merchant. 
We are pleased that we are the first seedsmen in the Northwest to give 
this service. 
GARDEN SEED PRICES 
Our garden seed prices are lower than they have ever been. We are able to 
make these reductions because of our great increase in business—for which please 
accept our sincere thanks.

ful breeding. It grows

delicious vegetable is worth a place in all gardens.

crook-neck squash. The fruit should be cut at 
four to six inches long and should not be al¬ 
lowed to mature, as it stops the formation of 
new fruit. Cook it just the same as asparagus.

Is a very interesting novelty as one hill will 
produce ar. many as 125 to 150 nuts. They should 
be sown in good mellow ground, they have a very 
fine almond flavor. The nuts are about three- 
quarters -,! an inch in length, having a thin brown 
skin and snow white meat that becomes sweeter 
after the nuts have been harvested and dried for 
a time. The nuts will mature in the fall after the 
first frocl. Pkt., 7c; 14 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 45c.
