SEEDS vs. SEEDS 
WHILE fertile soil, proper cultivation, and favorable 
weather conditions are important, the success of your 
garden, after all, depends primarily and chiefly on the 
quality of the seeds you plant. 
There is a vast difference in seeds. It is only by constant 
and most careful selection and reselection of the most perfect 
specimens that plants are brought to the highest standard. 
This requires skill, thorough knowledge, and great experience 
on the part of the grower. It is also more costly, for often — 
just to keep the strain pure — we have to destroy a great many 
fine plants which are just a little ofl' color, or off type, or slightly 
imperfect. It is much more profitable to harvest a crop without 
this careful rogueing, and seeds so grown can be sold very much 
cheaper. Unfortunately there are many such strains offered 
to the seed buyer. 
The cost of even the highest-grade seed is a mere trifle com- 
pared with the expense of preparation, cultivation, and harvest- 
ing. The loss sustained if the results are poor, due to seeds of 
poor strains, Avill more than wipe out the slight saving secured 
by buying cheap seeds. The best will be found to be the 
cheapest in the end. 
Will the thought that you saved a little money when you 
bought your seeds reconcile you to a keen disappointment in 
your garden? Cheap seeds bring expensive disappointments. 
Sch ling's Seeds are of supreme quality, absolutely 
dependable, saved from most carefully bred stocks, true to 
type, and thoroughly tried and proved.
