Plant Smith’s Selected and Tested QUALITY SEEDS 

Lettuce, New York No. 12 
A comparatively recent selection of the New York type; an early 
variety and does well in mid-summer. It is lighter in color than the 
regular New York and is popular with shippers and large growers. 
Seed is valuable and good seed deserves the best care 
possible, for with it better vegetables can be grown. Buy 
Smith’s vegetable seed and be sure of the best in 
quality. 

Watermelon, Black Seeded Klondike 
Delicious sweet, tender melons with thin rich green skins can be 
grown in the home garden or in quantity for the market. It is an 
excellent shipper. Flesh bright red with characteristic small black 
seeds. Our seed is selected from perfect specimens only. Watermelons 
make good growth in the warm climate of Arizona. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, 
V4 Ib. 50c, 1 lb. $1.50, 5 lbs. $6.50, 10 Ibs. $12.50, postpaid. 
for the Victory Garden 
The second year of our participation in the war is well 
upon us and with it we will see a curtailment in growing 
certain vegetable crops. Many vegetables, once considered 
essential to all of us, will be restricted for the duration. This 
affects market gardeners whose burden of supplying essen- 
tial vegetables is greater today than ever before. Every 
family with ground that can be p’anted should have a 
Victory garden in which he can grow many types of veg- 
etables—those that are not restricted to help relieve the 
growers and transportation facilities and those that are re- 
stricted to make his meals at home more delicious and com- 
plete. His reward will be two-fold in that he will eat better 
food and in greater variety and he will make a valuable 
contribution toward winning the war: Vegetable gardening 
will be new to many so we offer some suggestions on pages 
24 and 25 for better use of the space planted and methods of 
handling seeds. 

Beans, Kentucky Wonder Pole 
This most popular of all pole beans should be in every 
garden. The dark green pods are round and long, measuring 
9 to 10 inches; they are always stringless as snaps, and 
never become tough. Seeds light brown colored.
