Agriculturists will rejoice to learn of the opening of a first- 
class Seed House, which affords them the opportunity of buying 
strictly frksh stock, thereby avoiding chances of loss and 
disappointment, arising from planting old seeds. Particular 
caution on the part of buyers is necessary this year, as there is 
an unusually heavy stock of last seasou’s surplus on the market.

their growth before buying.
