tables that certain varieties be planted; and it is consequently 

 important that correctly named seed be secured. At the Station 

 farm, we have found seeds from the long-established seed-houses 

 of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, and Peter Henderson & 

 Co., New York, to be always reliable. A few varieties can some- 

 times be procured to better advantage from one of the southern 

 seed firms, J. Steckler Seed Co., New Orleans, N. L,. Willet, Atl- 

 anta, or the Germain Fruit Co. , Los Angeles. Beware of buy- 

 ing seed kept in bulk by a local dealer, unless you have full con- 

 fience in his reliability. Such a course would be likely to result 

 in disappointment, instead of vegetables for the table. It pays 

 to plant the very best, and none but the very best of seed.
