Hunt's Perfection Vegetable Seeds 
In spite of the fact that the commercial gardener can usually supply most vegetables 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. 
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. 
With the war continuing, our friends abroad are drawing on the United States for more of our vegetables 
as well as other foods. 
vegetables thereby releasing that much for food to be sent abroad. 
For many years a large percentage of the Bean, Beet, Cabbage, Carrot, Cauliflower, Leek, Onion, Par- 
snip, Pea, and Turnip seed sold in this country was imported from abroad, but because of the war the 
supply has been shut off and there is no foreign seed of these vegetables obtainable here. Luckily, a year or 
so ago, anticipating that there would a be shortage of these seeds in this country, we arranged for our sup- 
plies from the Original British Stocks to be grown here. We were indeed fortunate as our crop of these 
specially selected British Seeds, grown here, 1s now in and they are the freshest, cleanest vegetable seeds we 
have ever seen. In fact, far superior in our opinion to most seed of foreign origin and we are positive you 
will be well pleased with the results.
