GURNEY’S 
“Northern Grown Seed” 
One thing you can always be sure of at Gurney’s 
—you always get seed that is hardy and will grow 
_ well for you. Up in this country we have to have 
hardy seed. Nothing but the hardiest strains will 
take the punishment of cold and hot winds so 
frequent in the Northwest. 
This hardiness in seeds, same as with nursery 
stock, is important to every gardener, no matter 
where he lives. It is just as important in Illinois 
and Kansas and Missouri as it is here in the 
Dakotas. So insist on hardiness in all the seeds you 
plant. Better still, get them from Gurney’s and be 
sure that what you plant will be able to take the 
circumstances under which you plant it.

GURNEY’S BEANS 
Plant lots of Beans this year. 5 or 6 pounds aren’t too many for a 
small family. A pound will plant 2 rows, 50 feet long. Cover beans 
about 2 inches. Space rows 20 to 30 inches apart in rich warm soil. 
Make first planting when severe frost danger is past. Make more 
plantings every two weeks. 
And remember to buy a few extra pounds of beans when you send 
your order. Beans are the WORLD’S CHAMPION “FILL-IN” 
CROP. Wherever an early crop like radishes or lettuce is done with 
the ground, put in another row of beans. Beans like hot weather 
and this way you use your garden double and GET 2 CROPS OFF 
the same space. 
INOCULATE ALL BEANS 
_ Be sure to inoculate all beans, peas and sweet peas. LEGUME AID 
inoculation will help you get bigger yields and faster growth. It just 
takes a minute to dust the seed—no trouble at all. A 10c packet is 
enough for 5 lbs. of seed. Full directions on the packet. LEGUME AID 
10c per packet, postpaid.

edible soy beans. Well, here they are

beans, or dry beans. Let pods stand 
in boiling water for 5 minutes to shell.

For years we have been ex- 
perimenting with many varieties 
of tomatoes. As you probably 
know it takes a pretty good to- 
mato to grow successful crops 
up here in the Northern States. 
We have no hesitancy in saying 
any tomatoes listed in the 
Gurney catalog will make suc- 
cessful crops for you in either of 
the Dakotas or in the surround- 
ing states. When you buy toma- 
toes from Gurney’s you .are 
buying the very best. 
We have tried hundreds of 
different varieties and have 
selected only those that are well 
suited to this general territory, 
every one of which is dependable 
and will give you a maximum of 
the best well fleshed tomatoes. 
Because of our short seasons 
you should start the tomato 
seedlings in the house, in the hot 
bed or in a cold frame real early. 
Have good stocky vigorous 
plants ready to start blooming 
when frost danger is over. To- 
matoes like reasonably rich soil 
but don’t fertilize them too 
heavily. If your garden is ex- 
posed to hot southwest winds be 
sure to plant your tomatoes on 
the protected side. Plant them 
on the north or east side of corn, 
castor beans or buildings. This 
will help insure maximum crop.
