A new book by Charles Johnson, author 

 of The Seedsman's Assistant. 



This is a practical treatise on growing 

 vegetable and flower seeds and bulbs for 

 market or commercial purposes, describing 

 operations for each variety In detail, when 

 to plant, harvesting, drying and cleaning ; 

 with crop yield per acre, prices paid to 

 growers, market status, where the best seeds 

 are now grown, contract forms for growers, 

 how to originate new varieties, how to take 

 care of seeds. 



The only complete work on seed growing 

 published In any country. 



The chapter on raising, cleaning, storing 

 and keeping onion sets Is Itself worth the 

 price of the whole book. The same can be 

 said of chapters on other varieties, beans, 

 cabbage, corn, cucumbers, melon, peas, to- 

 matoes, etc. Every seedsman, every florist, 

 every gardener, every farmer should have 

 a copy. Know how the best seeds are 

 grown. The more you know about seeds 

 the better.
