SUCCESS IN MARKET GARDENING 



cost. I have raised vegetables in such large 

 quantities that I have been induced to grow my 

 own seed, to a great extent, and, having often had 

 a surplus, have supplied my neighbours; and my 

 trade in seeds, commencing in this way, con- 

 stantly increased from the beginning, until I was 

 finally obliged to open a seed store in the city, 

 for the convenience of my many customers. 



Of course, I do not by any means profess to 

 grow all the seeds I catalogue ; but there are several 

 kinds which I can and do grow very successfully, 

 and which I have, by years of careful selection 

 greatly improved. Of these seeds I grow all that 

 I sell; and, in order to distinguish them from the 

 common strains, I have designated them as 

 "Arlington-grown" seeds. I do not profess to 

 sell these seeds at any such low prices as seeds 

 of the same varieties can often be bought for, 

 elsewhere, from dealers who buy up their stock here 

 and there, of any one from whom they can purchase 

 cheapest. Any one who will give the matter 

 a moment's thought will see that I cannot compete 

 in price with these cheap grades of seeds. 



It is a false view of economy that leads any one 

 to purchase cheap seed for a few dollars saved
