WILLIAM EWING & CO.'S SEED CATALOGUE 
Ewing*s Famous 'Quality' Agricultural Seeds 
While strongly advocating the growing of Com and the Silo system, it is a fact that many sec- 
tions of the Dominion are better adapted for growing roots than Com, and even where Com can 
be successfully grown we advise the sowing of roots as well. Both are best. The sowing of the 
BEST QU.\L'ITY of seeds is of the utmost importance, but the farmer has to do his part also, and 
auocess with root crops need not be expected unless the land be thoroughlyJandldeeply cultivated, 
and from twenty to thirty loads of stable manure applied the previous fall (or its equivalent in 
Artificial manures) per acre.
