Raising lots of fresh vegetables for eating 
and canning not only insures you and your fam- 
ily better health but also adds greatly to your | 
farm income. Surveys made recently show that 
the most successful farmers today are those 
who raise a big home garden. The whole family 
can take a part in it and the garden is the back-

We all know fresh vegetables from our garden taste 
better than any we may buy. There is also nothing like 
home canned foods. But some of you may not appreciate 
how far on food or living costs your own garden will 
earry your family. Government economists say a ez 
acre farm garden will save up to $200 on food costs for 
the average family of 5. With Berry’s New “Victory 
Garden” Bulk Packages (see page 53) and our big col- 
lection offers on pages 49, 52 and 53 you may get enough 
seed to plant 1 acre of all vegetables for as little as $4.20.
