Get Those Orders Placed
Now that the spring cataloss

in placing orders for seeds,

reason for placing orders early
Is that with brisk demand many
of the choice varieties will be
snapped up and late orders will
get some substitutions. Order
early and be sure TO get what
you need for particular situa-
tons or effects In your garden
