Play safe! Buy seed 
from seedsmen only 

Can you think of anything money 
can buy, that’s quite such a bargain 
as SEED? 
What else gives you so much — for so 
little? 
Seed isn’t mere merchandise. It’s a 
miracle, wrapped up in a package! 
Is it worth while, then, TO GAMBLE 
WITH THIS MIRACLE? Is it wise to buy 
any but the very finest seed? 
Wise gardeners say, “Play safe! Buy 
your garden seed from the man who 
knows it best — THE SEEDSMAN!”
