INTER-STATE’S VEGETABLE SEEDS 
|= ys ee © De ee A ee ee 

Up to this time we have been able to buy 
plenty of vegetables the year ’round, in 
season and out. Now the war is changing 
the picture. The big market growers face 
a shortage of help. The armed forces need 
a tremendous amount of vegetables, fresh 
and canned. Railroads and trucks are 
swamped with shipments of war materials. 
It is up to us at home to plant big Victory 
Gardens! 
Better Meals at Less Cost 
You will find that no vegetables taste as 
good as those you grow in your own gar- 
den. That's the way to get the finest qual- 
ity, freshness, flavor. 
You can make successive plantings, so 
your garden will keep producing through 
the entire season. 
Even a small garden will save you enough 
to buy a War Bond, probably two. A 
larger garden may save you even more. 
And Talk about Vitamins! 
Proper food means good health. We all 
realize now the importance of vegetables, 
with their necessary Vitamins and Min- 
erals. Authorities on nutrition agree that 
the best way to get the Vitamins you need is 
by eating the proper foods. 
You have a gold-mine of Vitamins and 
Minerals right in your garden patch. Grow 
your own Vitamins—cheaply and in great 
abundance—and watch the faces around 
your table shine with blooming health!

DWARF GREEN POD BUSH BEANS 
*401 Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod 
(SO days)—Our best round, green pod 
bush bean. Produces long meaty pods 
that are always tender and absolutely 
stringless even when full grown. For can- 
ning purposes it cannot be beat. Its qual- 
ity, productiveness and tenderness have 
never been surpassed. We believe it will 
produce more than any other stringless 
green pod bean.

early, long bearing, very productive. Pods 
are thick-flat, tender, good quality and 
stringless.

GOOD SEEDS . . . GOOD GARDEN 
From G. R. Schissler, Tampa, Kansas 
“We have planted Inter-State seed the 
last five years, and have always raised 
garden when others couldn’t. It would 
have done your heart good to have seen 
our garden last summer. We planted 4 
pound Marvel peas, and canned 28 pints. 
Every pod had at least six large peas. We 
planted 1 ounce of your best seed, Detroit 
Dark Red, and there were over 80 quarts 
of beets canned. I gave away two big tubs 
full. The carrots were the largest I’ve ever 
seen, and were perfect. I gave away arms- 
ful of them also. It seems every seed 
comes up and matures. I couldn’t resist 
telling you of our garden, and we have 
convinced several here that your seed 
is best.”

in the spring. As a malter of fact successive plantings 
can be made so that you will have fresh vegetables until 
freezing.
