OUR 
PART 
IN 


We feel that very little time need be spent in urging that more and BETTER gardens be 
planted and grown in 1943. It is obviously everyone’s duty to help produce as much of 
their own food as possible. We are glad that we can play such a vital part in this im- 
portant phase of war work by helping to supply the instructions, tools, seeds, and fertilizers 
needed to make better Montana home and market gardens. 
This is no time to experiment—only those varieties proven to be the best for our conditions 
should be planted. We have marked these in our catalog and eliminated the confusing 
and impressive use of adjectives that are so much a part of the average catalogue. Our 
customers indicated their approval of this innovation last year. 
We would like to add that few forms of relaxation will be found to relieve the tension of 
“war nerves” as will a flower and vegetable garden—and what hobby pays such mone- 
tary dividends.

“ASTROLOGY FANS” 
Are more numerous than we thought, and for this reason are again listing favor- 
able planting dates, according to Moon Phases. This information is passed on to 
those interested. We assume no responsibility in the arguments as to whether the 
idea has merit. Complete table is reprinted on page 15.
