LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1921. 



PRICE OF PACKETS. 



Increased cost of many Items entering into tlie 

 preparation of packet .seeds lias made necessary one 

 of two thing's — either the further reduction of the 

 quantit) of seed in the packet, or the temporary In- 

 crease in the price m' the packet. We have decided 

 that the hest interests of our customers will he 

 served by advancing the price of the packet and 

 inerensing instead of reducing the quantity of seed. 

 Most of our packets, therefore, will be found priced 

 at 10c this season, BUT THE PACKETS ARE 

 BIGGER.
