SUCCESS IN MARKET GARDENING 



Always look for quality first ; and when satisfied 

 in this respect, pay the price if it is in any wise 

 reasonable; for you must remember that these 

 extra strains have cost an amount of labour and 

 expense in growing them largely beyond that 

 required by common-grown stock. 



Of course, as we have already said, it is always 

 important, and in some degree essential, that 

 none but the best seed be used ; but with some crops 

 this is most especially necessary, and a neglect will 

 result in the most disastrous kind of a failure. 

 Take, for instance, either cabbage, cauliflower or 

 celery. These are vegetables with regard to which 

 the greatest care has to be exercised to procure 

 the proper kind of seed stock. Also with onions, 

 lettuce and cucumbers this is no less important. 



It may be well to add, while on this point, that 

 there is more than one advantage in purchasing 

 your seed supply early in the season, and before 

 the spring rush comes on. By so doing you are 

 enabled to get the best that there is in stock, as the 

 supplies have not then been greatly drawn upon; 

 and by attending to the matter before every one 

 is driven with orders you have a better chance to 

 make your selections, and of avoiding mistakes.
