On the following pages you will find the vegetable selections we have chosen from among the thousands of 
available varieties, as the finest for quality and yield for our own climatic and soil conditions. 
Our nation has the finest food supply in the world, 
yet nutrition experts have proved that most of us 
are poorly nourished. As we all know our “three 
good square a day” often do not give us certain 
minerals and vitamins that we need. These neces- 
sary elements may be bought at the drug store, but 
they can also be home grown at far less cost. Garden 
fresh vegetables can provide nearly all of them in 
ample quantity. 
Garden vegetables begin to undergo a profound 
change almost as soon as they’re picked. In just a 
few short hours, inevitable natural processes alter 
their flavor, their texture, their vitamin content. 
Anyone who has ever enjoyed sweet corn fresh from 
the garden knows what a tremendous difference 
these changes make. 
Yes, nature offers rich rewards to the home garden- 
er. So called “fresh” vegetables from the market 
just can’t compare with the TRUE garden fresh 
kind, 
For health, for taste, for savings, there’s no sub- 
stitute for garden fresh vegetables—they taste so 
much better and are so much better for you. 
What You Should Know About Feeding Vegetables 
By feeding their vegetables adequately, home gar- 
deners can not only enjoy increased yields, and high 
quality, but can reduce substantially the work in- 
volved in gardening. 
To apply, stretch the line to mark the row in which 
seeds are to be planted. Then not less than two 
inches away on either side, make a furrow four 
inches deep. Pour plant food into each furrow at 
the rate of one pound (or pint) for 50 feet, and 
cover it with earth. Then make the drill in which 
seed are to be sown and proceed with planting as 
usual.
