SEEDS SMALL PART OF COST 
Why prepare and cultivate a garden with 
the cheapest seed? A few cents additional 
in cost of seed may spell the difference 
between success and failure. Our vegetable 
seeds are very popular with market gar- 
deners. Cheap seeds are usually dear at any 
cost. Yet, with all, our prices are reasonable 
and still maintain high quality.
