place by a spring wire 
fitting into the center of

spring into the metal 
holder at the back. There 
are plenty of these wires 
so that you can hold two 
years’ copies ... or, if 
you prefer, one year’s 
copies plus a Ball Red 
Book, Seed Sowing or 
Gravel Crops and Sub-

and Flowering Plants 
The need and demand for such, especially vegetable, will be stronger next 
spring than ever in our history. With a food shortage threatening, all pos- 
sible encouragement and publicity should be given Victory Gardens. It will 
be patriotic as well as profitable to do so. And there will be few front yards 
plowed up for Victory Gardens. We have too much vacant land to make 
Our public will want flowering plants more freely than ever, for morale 
would suffer without the colorful and cheering effect of the florist’s product. 
While plants can be grown in the open soil of flats or benches, most of them trans- 
plant much better if in our Better Plant Bands. As we go to press our supply of these
