GARDEN SEED 
ON THE FOLLOWING PaGEs we ate offering a select group of garden seeds. While we 
specialize in cantaloupe seed, many of our customers have suggested, from time to time, 
that it would be more convenient for them to secure their garden seed at the same time they 
place their order with us for cantaloupe seed. 
In maintaining our reputation for high quality seed we have been extremely careful to 
secure only the very finest stocks of seed of the vegetables offered on the following pages. 
Together with the description of the different vegetables we have added information for 
growing them and hope that this will be of help to you. 
When you have selected the kinds of seed you want and have sent us your order, we 
will be certain that you receive the very finest seed that it is possible to produce. All your 
orders will have our careful attention and shipment will be made to you immediately on 
receipt of your order 
We want to mail a copy of this catalog to all gardeners who might be inter- 
ested in it. If you will send us the names of ten gardeners or farmers in your 
locality we will send you five free packets of assorted cantaloupe seed for the 
list of names. |

TABLE BEETS may be planted as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, since they 
can stand light frosts. A moist soil that is well drained suits beets to perfection. One ounce 
of beet seed will plant about 100 feet of row and should be planted about one inch deep. 
The rows should be 16 to 20 inches apart and the plants should be thinned out to stand 
three inches apart in the row. Beets may be stored for winter use with very little trouble by 
packing them in sand or loose soil in a cool cellar where they will not be touched by frost.
