TREAT SEED WITH ARASAN 
We are stressing this year the treating of vegetable seeds be- 
cause it has been demonstrated beyond any question that they 
should be treated. We do not hesitate to urge customers to apply 
Arasan to all vegetables. It improves germination and makes for 
a more healthy plant throughout the growing season. See page 26 
for prices and other information.
