PERFECTION BRAND SEEDS—Since'I906 1 


Vegetable Gardening for the Duration 
The world is hungering and battling for Peace and Free- 
dom, but those blessings can neither be attained or enjoyed 
without the driving power of human health and vigor, and 
that means that there must be FOOD and plenty of it. The 
increased farm production goal set by the Department of 
Agriculture has a three-fold purpose—to develop better 
food habits and insure better nutrition for our people; as 
a nation, we have not been feeding ourselves adequately 
and intelligently—to provide vast quantities of vital food- 
stuffs for the nations that are fighting the common enemy 
and to meet relief and emergency requirements and build 
up a reserve against future needs. This program concerns 
every one of us, from the largest market gardener to the 
owners of the smallest homes. 
Gardening is an enjoyable recreation and an excellent 
builder-up of both physical health and morale. It’s fun— 
and it PAYS. Don’t sacrifice your lawns and flower beds; 
the time for that is not here yet and may never be, and the 
need for beautiful flowers and color, in our lives, is needed 
today more than ever.

and shipment of orders. More will be sent on receipt of 
postal asking for same. 
ABOUT WARRANTING SEEDS—It is impractical ta 
guarantee seeds, as the best seeds will fail under improper 
treatment. Some may be sown in too dry ground or too 
wet, too deep, or too shallow. Some hardy seeds will stand 
cold weather and will grow where the soil is too cold for 
others and would cause them to decay. Insects may attack 
and destroy them. For these reasons we do not give war- 
ranty in any respect, and will not be responsible for the 
crop.
