Vegetalle Seeds far Ploriote 
Cur vegetable seeds are of the same superior quality as our flower seeds. Don’t miss out on the increased 
sale of vegetables this spring. With home building and the sale of home freezers at a national all- 
time peak, the demand for vegetables for “back-yard” planting should reach a comparable all-time 
high level. BE READY! 
(@) For easy reference, we’ve marked the best vegetable varieties for greenhouse forcing with a dot. 
All are thoroughly tested. 
Band-grown vegetables mean earlier crops. Use the banded plant cut as your guide to suitable 
al varieties for growing in Plant Bands.
