Hunt’s Perfection Vegetable Seeds 
In spite of the fact that the commercial gardener can supply most 
yegetables during the summer at less than what it costs the consumer 
in time and labor to raise them himself, market vegetables, no matter 
how expeditiously and scientifically marketed, are never as good as 
those grown in the home-garden. 
People who have never grown their own peas and sweet corn, for 
instance, are in total ignorance of the true flavor of those delicious 
vegetables. Besides, there is always the added spice of triumphant 
achievement in producing the vegetables for family use from the 
home plot. 
If there is space, such crops as mature underground—potatoes, 
turnips, parsnips, carrots, and so on—can be grown cheaply in 
quantity, and may be stored in the cellar in autumn and kept until 
wanted for use. Garden space and garden enthusiasm are all that 
are needed to produce greater quantities of those staple things of 
better quality and at less cost than they can be purchased.
