PARSLEY 
No really particular house¬ 
wife can do without Parsley 
for garnishing. Aside from 
this common use, good cook¬ 
ing cannot be done without 
it because of the delicious 
flavor it imparts to sauces, 
gravies, and soups. Parsley 
is the finest border plant we 
have for the vegetable gar¬ 
den, and it is the simplest 
thing in the world to grow, 
and always hard to get when 
you want it most. Was ever 
a truer word said? Grow 
Parsley. Don’t argue. It 
should be in every garden.

BRECK’S POTATOES 
Potatoes are such a staple product of the soil that we are apt to forget the thrill that comes 
from digging new Potatoes right out of the garden and serving them “just plain boiled” 
with their jackets on. Home-grown Potatoes make us wonder why we ever eat the ordinary 
kind the rest of the year. Those who have the land are missing something if they don’t grow 
enough Potatoes for their own Summer and Autumn consumption. 
All varieties grown in Aroostook County, Maine. The starred varieties have been certified 
as “seed stock,” true to name and type, and practically free from disease. These have been 
sorted and inspected under the supervision of the State of Maine Department of Agriculture, 
and the original 2-bushel bags bear the blue tag of certification.
