Gardening as a Hobby 
Gardening can be a business or a hobby. As 
a business it requires a lot of knowledge, a lot of 
time and effort. As a hobby it can become a most 
pleasant, profitable and health-giving past time. 
A small garden plot can produce a surprising 
amount of vegetables, if carefully planned and 
planted. Freshly picked vegetables from one’s 
own garden cannot be excelled in quality and 
flavor. 
Flowers have their value always as a morale 
builder, whether they are the tried and true 
standard varieties, or the newer novelties recently 
offered. 
In our listing of vegetable and flower seeds 
you will find our selection of the standard sorts, 
as well as a few of the newer introductions. 
May we help and advise you in your selection 
of seeds, fertilizers, plants and garden insecticides 
for your 1947 gardening season.
