THE VIRTUE OF IMPATIENCE. 
<;<■. sini; the praise of patience if it suits 
your taste and voice, Cor patience is the 
virtue first in many people's choice. They 
laud the man who sits for hours serenly by 
the brook in patient waiting for a fish to 
nibble at his honk: but often is his waiting 
and his patience all in vain because the fish 
were lifted by a fellow with a seine. 
Go, eulogize tie' farmer as lie sits amouf 
his crops and reverently wails fur heaven's- 
kind, refreshing- drops: who prays in patience 
for the breeze cloud-freighted from the south. 
io come along when it may please and break 
the blasted drouth ; hut while he thus awaits 
for helpful moisture from his Maker, the man 
who irrigates produces twice as much per 
acre. 
Go, boost the merit of the man whose 
goods are highest grade, whose quality of 
merchandise is building up his trade: who 
patiently awaits the slow approval of the 
throng, in confidence that patronage is sure 
t aic along. // set nix tu mr impatience is 
immeasurably wiser; it's copiously proved lm 
the successful advertiser. -Printers' Ink.

Old Eno'lish Garden 
MANY a visitor to England has re- 
turned with a mingled feeling 
of despair and envy, when re- 
membering the charming floral profu- 
sion of the English Gardens. 
High and low, rich or poor, these 
beauty spots are everywhere. Upon 
the right seeds, largely depends their 
surpassing success. 
For over one hundred years Sut- 
ton & Sons have been the most noted 
seed house in England, their custom- 
ers ranging from England's Kings 
and Queens, down to the smallest 
cottager. 
There certainly are plenty of reasons why 
this is so ; for instance : not only are 
Sutton's Seeds grown and bred with a care 
equal to that of pedigree horses, but they 
are continually tested by actual growth in 
our own seed test grounds, many miles in 
extent. All seeds, in addition, pass through 
an nnequa'led system of cleaning and pack- 
ing. In buying them you can absolutely 
depend on their being true to na.ne and 
of highest germinating power. 
Our Catalog — One of the finest published — 
will be sent for 35c; which will be refunded 
on orders of $5 or over. 
You who are gardeners, if you will send us 
your name and name of employer. — The catalog 
will be sent free.
