Hunt’s Perfection Vegetable Seeds 
In spite of the fact that the commercial gardener can usually supply most vege¬ 
tables 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 this year, with the war in Europe, prices will no doubt be higher so it will pay all 
of us to raise more of our own food. Office workers and the tired businessman will find 
garden exercise more healthful than a round of golf.
