HELP YOURSELF TO SEEDS. 



Barteldes & Co., Lawrence, Kan., think 

 they get the brunt of the government 

 competition a little hotter than most 

 seed houses, as witness the following 

 from their daily paper of March 4: 



"The garden seeds sent by Mr. Scott 

 to his constituents, to be delivered 

 through the "World oflBce, have arrived. 

 A mail bag nearly full of packages sits 

 in this office and the packages will be 

 distributed to those who call for them, 

 until they are all gone. Get yours 

 early. ' '
