You, too, can have a fine vegetable garden. 
MAKE YOUR WAR GARDEN 
Tuousanps of people planted a vegetable garden for 
the first time last year and many more thousands will 
plant one this year. By spring they will realize, if they 
have not already, how much our country, with our 
army and the United Nations to feed, needs each fam- 
ily to provide as much food as they possibly can for 
themselves. 
Fortunately this is a pleasant duty, for once you 
have a vegetable garden you will never want to be 
without your own fresh vegetables. It takes surpris- 
ingly little land to grow enough of beets, beans, carrots, 
onions, tomatoes, early cabbage, peas and swiss chard, 
to supply your table. If you have land enough do not 
fail to have corn and lima beans, for they are an 
entirely different vegetable when picked fresh than 
they are when bought in the stores. A few hills of 
cucumbers and summer squash do not take much 
room and are very convenient to have. 
We want your garden to be completely successful in 
every way and the greatest contribution we can make 
is to supply you with the best seed obtainable. We have 
long been proud of the high standards we have set for 
our seeds—strong germination, finest quality, trueness 
to type, and especially the fact that our seeds are 
adapted to Northern gardens so that they can be

depended on to produce full crops even where the 
seasons are short. 
This catalog has been written with your garden in 
mind and we know you will find it helpful. Our descrip- 
tions of varieties are based on our own actual experi- 
ence in test gardens and growing crops here on Moreton 
Farm so you can depend on them to be accurate. 
Good gardens require more than good seed—they 
need a well prepared soil and quite a lot of care 
throughout the season. In order to help you get the 
best possible results, we have printed a pamphlet 
called the “Cultivation of Vegetables and Flowers” 
which will be of immense help if you are not an ex- 
perienced gardener. Simply ask for it when you send in 
your order, and it will be sent free of charge. 
Much of the success of your garden will depend on 
the care and forethought with which it is planned. 
Look over this catalog and select the varieties and 
quantities of seed you will need. You know the size of 
your garden and you can tell how much to order from 
the information we give under the headings for each 
kind of seed. 
Above all, this year especially, send your order early 
so that you will be sure to have the seeds on hand when 
it is time to plant... We wish you the best of success.
