importance in many varieties. Substan- 

 tial progress has been made by varietal 

 aelection in opposing asparagus rust, po- 

 tato blight and corn smut. A reasonably 

 blight-resistant melon is at the present 

 time most ardently desired. Many fac- 

 tors go to make up the complex modern 

 demands on vegetable growth. All are 

 important, but vigor and disease resist- 

 ance are so in the highest degree.

WARiyS SEED POLICY. 



It has been the art of advertising as 

 much as any other factor which has led 

 to the success of the big general mail 

 order houses, and in .this connection the 

 seed trade should be interested in the 

 following introduction to the seed cata- 

 logue of Montgomery Ward & Co., Chi- 

 cago, published over the signature of A. 

 Montgomery Ward: 



When this firm decided three years ago to 

 enter the seed business, we did so with the 

 full reallratlon that we were going to either 

 win friends or malce enemies, as seeds are 

 something that must be absolutely dependable. 

 The policy of this firm has always been to pro- 

 tect the Interests of its customers, so at the 

 very beginning of our entry into the seed world 

 — before a dollar's worth of stock was pur- 

 chased — I decided that we would either handle 

 the highest grade of seeds or we would keep 

 out of the seed business entirely. 



H. W. Fisher, in charge of our Seed Divf- 

 •lon, understands my policy and is devoting 

 hia personal efforts toward stocking only abso- 

 lutely reliable seeds. We not only deal with 

 reliable producers, but as far as possible inves- 

 tigate the conditions under which our seeds 

 are grown. Seeds must be right or trouble fol- 

 lows. Mr. Fisher has instructions to supply 

 seeds that will make us a reputation and bring 

 as permanent cuatomerv. 



It is to be regretted that a binding guaran- 

 tee cannot be given on seeds; we would be only 

 too glad to guarantee every seed sold by us, 

 but conditions are such that no firm can issue 

 a seed guarantee. We offer our seeds with the 

 fullest confidence that they are as dependable 

 as it is possible to obtain them.
