to produce more and better crops per acre, and with 
greater ease.

59th Seed and Nursery Annual.

tested and selected the outstanding profit makers for 
farm and garden. We offer the newest releases from 
Experiment Stations in farm crops and the hardiest 
dependable fruits and vegetables for your locality. 
Thousands of new homes will soon need trees, shrubs 
and plants. It is most important then to buy for per- 
manence, by selecting nursery stock grown on hardy 
northern roots, so that you may enjoy the full fruits 
of your labor. 
With food prices still soaring, a good garden is like 
money from home. We can help you to achieve the 
greatest. satisfaction from the products you grow your-
