FOR BETTER GARDENS

You will probably notice that the number of varieties in the fol¬ 
lowing list is smaller than is usually offered by other seedsmen. 
We have kept down this number purposely and have selected from 
the long list of varieties of both flowers and vegetables only those 
that we know to be best suited to the needs of the home-garden.
