NOW IS THE TIME 
TO PLANT A DEFENSE GARDEN 
PLANT NOW AND BE READY FOR WHATEVER MAY COME 
Higher wages and shorter hours are drawing 
labor away from farms and market gardens, where 
overtime means only longer hours and no extra pay. 
With many men in military training and others en- 
gaged in industries concentrating on the manufac- 
ture of implements of war, the problem of food 
production and the transportation of same may be- 
come a serious one. This is the time when every 
home garden will be a contribution to National De- 
fense, and everyone who has the available em 
should plant and not wait until an actual food short- 
age may develop. A home garden will not only 
keep you well supplied with fresh vegetables, but 
will insure you that you will get the benefits of the 
rich vitamins which are found in same. It is a fact 
that vitamins are at the peak when the vegetables 
are picked fresh, and you are assured of the best in 
vegetables as well as materially reducing the cost 
of living. 
Due to the war, shipments of vegetable seed 
from Holland, France and Denmark and many other 
foreign countries have stopped and these important 
sources of seed supply are no longer AA and 
American Seed nee Ties at present is not sufficient 
for our normal requirements. Due to poor growing 
conditions this past year, there will be many varie- 
ties of seeds which will be exceptionally scarce, and 
the supply limited. 
At the present time, we have ample stocks on 
hand of most varieties and can fill your orders 
promptly with the finest tested stocks of American 
grown vegetable seeds. Due to many short crops 
the past year, we advise you to place your order 
early that you may be insured of getting the seeds 
ordered, as at a later date, we may be able to fill 
orders only partially as stocks will be exhausted. 
You can protect your family and contribute to 
National Defense by growing most of the vegetables 
you need in your own back yard. In so doing, you 
will gain greater independence, better health, econ- 
omy, pleasure and security.
