Your own gardén can provide you with 
delicious vegetables at their very peak of 
flavor and quality. Grow your own and 
eat or can them when they contain the 
most vitamins and at the right maturity. 
Plan a succession of plantings to prolong 
the period of finest quality foods for your 
table. 
‘Difference in seed planted may make a 
big difference in the quality of food you 
raise. Berry’s select varieties that are 
noted for quality and productiveness. We 
constantly strive to secure for our custom- 
ers the kind of seeds that will please you 
in every way. See our guarantee on page 
58. It is the recommendation of our cus- 
tomers that makes the fame of Berry seeds 
spread nation wide. Let us take care of 
your needs too, 
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- 
bone of successful farm management. It also 
trains the children in a family to do their part 
and they here may learn the vital importance of 
assuming responsibility in contributing some- 
thing vital to their own family’s welfare. 
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 % 
acre farm garden will save up to $200 on food costs for 
the average family of 5. By using Berry’s bulk seeds you 
get more seed for your money. See page 53 and our big 
eollection offers on pages 49 and 53. You may get 
enough seed to plant, 1 acre of all vegetables for as little 
as $3.90.
