VEGETABLE GARDEN 
In these uncertain days it is a satisfactory feeling to have 
a food supply growing right in your garden. And it is worth- 
while, too, because the vegetables you grow will be fresher 
and better than any you can buy. We offer a list of varieties 
carefully chosen for the home garden; selected seed strains, 
stocks tested to make sure of high germination. 
A leaflet of CULTURAL DIRECTIONS is sent with all 
vegetable seeds, no directions being printed on packet. All 
VEGETABLE SEED PRICES ARE POSTPAID.
