‘YOU CAN BEAT 
THE RISING COST | 
OF LIVING....’ 
SURE, FOLKS. The rising cost of food need not be frighten- 
ing if you operate under a budget which gardening can help. 
A simple assortment of tools, a few cents worth of seed and 
free Saturday or Sunday afternoons is all you need to start 
you off in the amateur gardenng husiness. Next requirement 
is a dab of land and a non-aggression pact with the neighbor’s 
chickens. Nothing else is required to start you off on a 
gardening adventure which will fill your days with joy and 
your refrigerator with garden-fresh vegetables the season 
round.
