with many leading American growers 

 during the last two seasons gave warn- 

 ing that drastic, measures must be taken

"Keeping everlastingly at it brings 

 success," observed Frank Sperry, of 

 the Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, O., 

 in commenting upon the change in the 

 location after being in the old store 

 for thirty-one years. The new store 

 and offices of the firm are nearly per- 

 fect in arrangcnu'ut and, though they are 

 on a side street, patrons have followed 

 instinctively. This was illustrated when 

 a customer from out-of-town uncon- 

 sciously walked into the old store, which 

 is now occupied by a jeweler. She in- 

 formed the salesman that she was not 

 purchasing jewelry, but was seeking 

 jewels in the form of Livingston's 

 "true blue" seeds. W. M.
