small seeds to this country, hundreds of thousands of pounds normally imported

Scarcity and higher market price of vegetables .will 
mean nothing to you if you plant a garden of your 
own this year. Vegetables you grow yourself not 
only cost less, but also taste better and are always 
fresher than the best you can buy. 
It is easy to have a successful garden, too. All you 
need to insure success is to PLANT BUIST’S 
SEEDS and follow our instructions for planting
