BEGONIA and 

 GLOXINIA BULBS 



We have the finest stock of these bulbs, and have been supplying the most 

 critical trade for a number of years. 



All carefully selected and graded, true to name and color.

 plants for September and October blooming.

same sources there cannot be much dif- 

 ference in the quality to entitle 'Jones' 

 to advertise in lurid type that his seedd 

 are infinitely superior to 'Eobinson's/ 

 whereas in many cases they come from 

 the same merchant or grower, and some- 

 times in the same car. 



"The ordinary Canadian seedsman 

 buying from places thousands of miles 

 from the place of business has no guar- 

 antee except the word of the grower 

 that his seeds are produced from plants 

 true to type. In some cases he may 

 have special iron-clad contracts, but in 

 most cases the seeds come from the gen- 

 eral stock, and in most cases are good — 

 but they are all equally good, the same 

 to everybody. 



"Many seeds go through three or 

 four bands before they reach the 

 planter. This, of course, invites mis- 

 takes. The name may be altered, or the 

 seedsx mixed. Nothing is more annoy- 

 ing to the planter than to get, say, early 

 and late peas mixed. This is much worse 

 than a thin crop of one kind, because 

 it is impossible to thresh a mixture. 



"I advocate the growing of acclima- 

 tized seed. The importance of this has 

 been, to some extent, overlooked. After 

 research I find that numerous experi- 

 ments in Canada have proved that ac- 

 climatized seed produces better plants 

 than imported seed. The famed Agri- 

 cultural College in Guelph, Ont., has 

 demonstrated this beyond a doubt in 

 field root and vegetable crops. A little 

 reflection and observation will convince 

 any one. Of course, as in the animal 

 world, adaptability to an environment 

 takes time. It cannot be accomplished 

 in one or even two seasons, but ulti- 

 mately the rewards are greaX. To give
