; THERE is nothing truer than the saying that good seeds are the beginning 
of a good garden. Certainly no good garden ever grew from inferior seeds, 
though good seeds if not followed up by good care may produce poor results. 
Start off right by buying the best seeds you can get—from your Woodruff 
dealer—and then take proper care of your garden. It will reward you with 
a plentiful supply of fresh, wholesome vegetables. The so-called ‘fresh” 
vegetables you buy may have come a thousand to three thousand miles across 
the country to a wholesaler and finally to your dealer, perhaps two weeks 
I from picking. The only way to have really fresh vegetables, with the flavor 
that can't be beat or bought, is to grow your own. 
There is no such thing as cheap seed. The better the seed you buy, the 
; lower is the cost of the crop you harvest, for good seed not only produces 
more, but better vegetables of superior quality—better to eat, better to can, 
better to freeze. 
Speaking of freezing, a great many people now either have their own 
freezing units or rent space in community locker plants. If you intend to freeze 
! vegetables, remember that poor quality vegetables will give you poor 
; quality food. Freeze only the best. Don't try to freeze vegetables which the 
I commercial freezers do not freeze, such as lettuce, cucumbers, onions, etc. In 
general, the varieties you like fresh you will also like frozen, but if you freeze 
i sweet corn, cut it off the cob first. 
Throughout this catalog we have mentioned the number of days to maturity 
of each variety listed. It must be understood that these times will vary in 
different parts of the country and with different growing conditions. In the 
{ case of vegetables grown from plants which are set out in the field, the num- 
ber of days refers to the time from setting out of the plants.
