Garden Jeea 
On the following pages we are offering a select group of garden seeds. While we specialize in can- 
taloupe 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 interested 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 
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 ina 
cool cellar where they will not be touched by frost.
