again! From coast to coast, a wave of home 
planting is under way, promising to exceed all 
records of modern times. 
And no wonder! With food prices high, the 
home garden offers the most practical way to 
save money without lowering your living stand- 
ards. And with war-strained nerves calling for 
plenty of vitamins, the home garden again of- 
fers the ideal method of health protection. 
Here’s practical, sensible Home Defense!

brid variety is bred for wilt-resistance, high yield and

Golden Bantam. Extremely uniform in plant and ear 
characteristics and in maturity. Highly resistant to

sweet, giant onion that is delicious at all stages 
of growth. From seed it will produce onions
