order to tell the farmers we had come 

 to town, and left our modest catalogue 

 of live stock and seeds at his door 

 (when there were no dogs around). 

 Then we thought signs were essential 

 and the horse came to use again. Well, 

 we drove so long and so many miles over 

 the hills through Dauphin county, speak- 

 ing to every farmer we -met on the road 

 (this was business) that even today, 

 when I go to the city, I find myself 

 nodding to every one on the street. 



"You all know William Meggett. 

 Well, William sold us our first bill of 

 seeds, and I shall never forget his re- 

 marks when he looked at the signs on 

 our store. He said, 'Say, Holmes, the

SEED SELECTION. 



In their novelty list for November, 

 1906, W. W. Johnson & Co., Boston, 

 England, have this to say of the impor- 

 tance of selection: 



"One hears a good deal nowadays 

 about the survival of the fittest. Un- 

 fortunately, in the seed trade, there is 

 frequently a tendency to disregard this 

 important principle. A crop intended

for seed purposes may be grown from a 

 very choice strain, but, however select it 

 may be, there is invariably certain 

 plants of an untrue type which should 

 be removed. These coarser and untrue 

 plants always withstand unfavorable cli-
