Follow These 12 Easy Steps for a Successful 
HOME FOOD GARDEN 






Use Frazier’s Reliable Seeds. 
These seeds are of the same 
high quality as those sup- 
plied by us to many of the 
largest and most discrimi- 
nating commercial growers. 
These growers cannot afford 
to gamble on the quality of 
the seed they use—they must 
have the best. 
Plan your garden. Use the 
valuable information con- 
tained in this Frazier Seed 
Catalog. Then order your 
seeds and supplies by mail 
from us. 
Wet down thoroughly if 
necessary and top dress with 
a complete plant food. Use 
4 lbs. to 100 square feet 
(10 x 10 ft). When apply- 
ing plant food by hand, in 
order to be sure of an even 
coverage, it is advisable to 
go over the ground two or 
three times, taking a differ- 
ent direction each time. 
4 Dig deeply, mixing the plant 
food well into the soil. Deep 
digging will allow the roots 
to penetrate the soil easily in 
their search for food and 
moisture. 
Pulverize soil thoroughly 
and rake level. This . will 
make it easier to sow the 
seed properly and it will also 
be easier for the young 
shoots to break through the 
surface. 
Mark off plots for various 
vegetables. It is best to have 
the rows ‘run north and 
south so that both sides of 
the row get an equal amount 
of sunlight.

7 Sow seeds of Celery, Pepper, 
Egg-plant, etc., in flats 
(boxes). If flats are placed 
in the house or a warm 
sheltered location, the seed 
can be planted earlier than 
outside and earlier vege- 
tables obtained. Follow di- 
rections in this catalog. 
8 Sow seeds of Beans, Beets, 
Carrots, etc., in the open 
ground where plants are to 
remain. Pollow directions in 
this catalog. Make several 
plantings of the vegetables 
of which you are particu- 
larly fond so that you may 
enjoy them longer. 
9 Thin out young plants to 
proper distance apart, keep 
garden free from weeds and 
well cultivated. Very young 
plants of many vegetables, 
such as lettuce, beets, onions, 
etc., are delicious and when 
thinning may be used in- 
stead of thrown away. 
Irrigate deeply in order to 
g ply 
have plenty of moisture for 
deep rooting. You will have 
better growth and use less 
water than if you sprinkle. 
Be sure to cultivate lightly 
after each irrigation as soon 
as the ground is dry enough 
to work. 
Apply complete plant food, 
at sides of plants, regularly 
for quick healthy growth 
and full flavor. Generally, 
once a month during the 
growing season is enough. 
Use 2 to 4 lbs. to 100 feet 
of row. 
and fungus diseases. Spray 
or dust with insecticides and 
fungicides regularly. To ob- 
tain satisfactory results, a 
good sprayer or duster is 
essential.
