PELLETED SEEDS 
One of the most interesting and latest discoveries in agriculture is the pelleting of 
seeds. 
Each seed is coated with inert material which contain fertilizers, insecticides and 
fungicides by a patented process. 
rapid growth is the result of planting pelleted seeds. 
plant any plants grown from pelleted seeds, just plant them where they are to grow. 
Earlier plantings can be made than from unprotected seeds.

MAKE YOUR GARDEN WORK THE YEAR AROUND 
For Best Results Plant STAR BRAND SEED 
The wide-awake gardener plans to use his garden full time by sowing seeds 
as early in the spring as possible and following with succession crops through- 
out the summer. Grow the varieties of vegetables that your family will eat 
and be sure to include enough to can, store and freeze to last all through the 
year. 
WHEN TO PLANT 
Because of year to year weather variations it is difficult to list specific 
dates at which various crops should be planted. Therefore may we suggest 
nature’s own signs. 
THE VERY EARLY VARIETIES: Broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, kale, 
kohlrabi, lettuce, round seeded peas, radishes, rutabagas, spinach and turnips 
can be safely planted at the time the farmer seeds oats. 
THE EARLY VARIETIES: Beets, onion sets, wrinkled peas and Swiss Chard 
may be sown when the earliest tulips and daffodils are blooming. 
LATE SPRING CROPS: Bush beans, sweet corn, pumpkins and squash may 
be planted when the apple blossoms and lilacs are in full bloom. 
SUMMER CROPS: Lima beans, pole beans, cucumbers, muskmelons and okra 
may be planted and plants of eggplant, peppers and tomatoes set out when the 
apple blossom petals have fallen and the late tall iris are in full bloom. 
FALL CROPS: Turnips, bush beans, Chinese cabbage, mustard, radishes, let- 
tuce and spinach may be sown in late July or early August to replace the early 
crops.
