Plant your garden with good seed, the very best 
you can buy. The difference in easier gardening, and tre¬ 
mendously greater yield will pay you back many, many times 
the slight difference in the original price of the seeds. 
Here at the Michael-Leonard Company we not only go to 
great pains to produce for you the very finest in seed, but 
we also maintain a large research department that is ever 
at work developing new and better seeds to make your gar¬ 
dening easier and more productive. We use varieties de¬ 
veloped especially for the Middle West, the East, and the 
South where they will do the best. 
Almost all of our seed is grown in cool, inter-mount¬ 
ain valleys of the Rocky Mountain states. Things do a fine 
job of growing in those isolated valleys — for there your 
seeds are free from contamination and disease. 
They are seeds that not only grow, but grow better 
crops for you.

P. S. More of these Illustrated Letters, oovering other 
phases of gardening as well as storage and canning 
of vegetables are now being prepared. They will be 
sent you when they are ready. When you have finished 
with your copy, if you do not oare to keep it, pass 
it along to a friend. Some of the hints in this 
letter may help him avoid errors that would waste 
seed — seed, that in these days, is more precious 
than gold. If you want to keep your copy, however, 
and know of friends who would also like to be on the 
Michael-Leonard mailing list, send us their names.
