FORBES VEGETABLE SEEDS 
A selection of strains, some old and some new, 
but all are today’s best 
With uncertain world conditions you’ll be wise to grow your own vegetables this year. 
It’s interesting and healthful, too, not to speak of the supply of nourishing food at little cost. 
But it’s not all fun. To succeed use good soil in the sun, plan well, and carefully select your 
varieties. Keep your crops free from weeds and well cultivated. But most important of all, 
plant the best seeds, for good vegetables do not grow from poor seeds. 
Since 1898 Forbes Seeds have been used in huge quantities by the farmers who grow the 
vegetables you buy at your vegetable store. Use these same Forbes Seeds in your own garden.
