SPECIAL SEED OFFER 
FOR A 20’x30’ 
VICTORY GARDEN 
To insure the very best results in a vege- 
table garden, a well developed plan 
should be followed. Along with such a 
plan a careful selection of types and 
varieties of seeds which will furnish a 
well balanced diet, high in Vitamins, 
should be made. 
CUT THE FAMILY BUDGET by growing your own 
food. A plot of ground 20’ x 30’ will produce a surprising 
amount of fine, crisp, tasty vegetables, enough to supply 
the table generously for a family of four and over a 
period of about four months. 
HERE IS A COMPLETE PLAN for such a garden: It can be enlarged or the di- 
mensions changed to suit the individual need or location, but no matter what the size, 
there is always wonderful satisfaction in being able to gather from one’s own yard or 
garden much of the daily needs to supply the table. Again, the garden offers a variety 
from which to choose, making it easier to prepare a well-balanced meal. 
SUCCESSIVE PLANTINGS. In order to have each square foot of soil produce the 
maximum, successive plantings should be made. In other words, grow two to three 
crops of short season kinds per season on the same spot. When the first planting of 
Radishes are about gone plant the second lot; two to three plantings of Green or Wax 
beans can be made; follow the Peas with late Turnips and when the Kohlrabi is well 
along, plant Endive for late fall use. Early Onions can be followed with late Cabbage, 
using seed. A late planting of Beets can be made between the rows of Spinach or some 
other crop which,has been fairly well used up. Plant Pumpkins in with the Corn at 
one end of the row and Squash at the other end. When the first row of Corn begins to 
show through the ground, sow the second row and about ten days later make the third 
planting. This will give a long season of fine eating Corn. With a little thought and 
planning two or more crops can be gathered from nearly every square foot of the 
garden. The Seed contained in this Collection is sufficient to make all the plantings 
mentioned.

PREPARATION OF SOIL. Well prepared soil is the first secret of a successful 
garden. A loamy soil gives best results but excellent results are obtained in either 
sandy or heavier clay soils. Spade or plow to the depth of ten inches breaking up the 
clods until the ground is in a fine, workable condition. A little extra time taken in soil 
preparation will pay big dividends fn crop production. If manure of any kind is avail- 
able, add before turning the soil over. Good drainage is necessary. Rain or applied 
water should be absorbed quickly and excess drained off. After plants are well started 
in the open garden, a light, side-dressing of a well balanced, commercial fertilizer can 
be added to stimulate growth and increase production. This should never be over- 
done. Too much fertilizer is worse than none at all. 
A FEW GARDEN DON'TS. Don’t dig the garden too early. Allow the soil to be dry 
enough to handle. Soils worked when too wet remain hard and lumpy. Don’t be too 
anxious to plant seed in cold, wet soil: Seeds germinate better and grow more quicklyin 
warm soil. For early, indoor starting of seed, refer to pages 17, Culture D of this 
catalog. Don’t fail to thin out crowded plants. There must be room for growing plants 
to properly develop. Surplus plants can be transplanted to other parts of the garden. 
Don’t fail to keep the soil well cultivated between the rows. This conserves moisture 
and keeps the soil from becoming hard. DON’T FAIL TO PLANT A VICTORY 
GARDEN THIS YEAR.
