the purchase Of your garden seeds. is
the warning to the Victory gardeners
Of 1913 from the National war garden
commission Of Washington IN today's
bulletin. Remember that the early
customer gets first choice, and at a
time when food is nedeed in such vast
quantities, it Is important TO get

II several neighbors or community
garden clubs will Join together and
order seeds in large quantities they
may make a considerable saving in

ordering is worth while.
In time of seed shortage, as at
present. unprincipled people may try
to dump a lot Of worthless seeds on
the market and this would most likely
be sold out in small retail lots.
The amount Of seeds necessary for
100 feet OF row are about as follows;
Bush beans, half pint; lima beans. half
