S PON those, the hope, pride, pleasure, and satisfaction of the garden entirely rest daring the whole year. We have often seen people admire 
inferior productions and been contented, but the moment they see something vastly superior, then comes the great surprise and astonishment 
that they should have been so long satisfied with what they have had. There are many thousands standing in this position all over the

slightest interest or feeling beyond stating facts concerning our seeds, for the sole purpose of showing satisfaction they have given, and no doubt the 
great object they had at heart was to benefit their fellow countrymen. It is now an acknowledged fact by all who have had them that they are the 
best offered m Europe. J

SEEDS SHOULD COME UP STRONG! 
§ L is of immense advantage when land is manured and dug not later than January, so that it can be left rough during greater part of the winter 
season, and thus let the surface get thoroughly frozen through, particularly heavy land ; i c is astonishing how it crumbles to pieces, as if it was 
ashes. The small seeds come up when sown in it beautifully, in consequence of the soil beiug to friable ; whereas, if the ground is dug later, in 
all probability there is not sufficient frost to pulverise the lumps. The strongest seedlings cannot have much strength, and more often than not 
are covered over as it were with a flag-stone; so they are crippled, and often die in their attempt to reach the daylight. If seeds are old and have lost 
greater part of their vigour, the crop must be a failure, and those that struggle through and survive can only be compared to a poor sicklv crippled child. 
requiring extra attention, and must be judiciously supplied with plenty of good food or they will never grow up, and even then far from satisfactory how 
can they i -Think over the matter: nature does a lot. but man must use common sense to be successful. As a rule, seeds should be covered with soil about 
double their depth (excepting Begonia and other very minute seeds). It must also.be remembered that all seeds should be kept at one regular state of 
moisture even after they have germinated, so as to allow the young radicals or roots to attain sufficient length, and thus have power to gather up moisture 
and sustenance to supply the plant; for the better this is attended to, so will the plant do accordingly. Good heavy well-developed seeds are a great 
secret in securing a thoroughly satisfactory crop.
