are the foundation of a 
successful crop 
That’s why so many of the biggest 
market gardeners come to us year 
after year for their seeds. They 
can’t afford to take chances with 
seeds of unknown quality and they 
have learned to rely on

Shellern lettuce, from the name of the 
Englishman. To get it headed well here 
we have to start it and carry it over Win¬ 
ter iu frame, so as to get it to head before 
the weather gets too warm. It will 
stand more heat than any of the butter 
sorts, but any lettuce will bolt to bloom 
when the weather gets real hot. As soon 
as- exposed to the open air the beds will 
get a dressing of nitrate of soda to give 
them a push, and if we can head them in 
April they will make fine heads. I have 
known them to reach 4 lbs. weight. 
In trying to answer all letters to the 
best of our power we farm paper writers 
often meet with curious people, and some 
with the cheek of a wooden Indian. I 
struck one of these recently. lie wrote, 
asking how to grow Summer cabbages. I 
assumed that he meant, early Summer 
cabbages, and I wrote him carefully how 
I would grow them. He wrote a letter 
on the back of mine and complained that 
I had not given him a fair reply, and he 
would not enclose another stamp till he 
got what he wanted. Then he said. “I 
do not subscribe for the paper, but I read 
it.” This class of men imagine that they 
have done a favor to send a stamp, and 
to get a reply that takes stationery, time 
and labor, while they read a paper some¬ 
one else pays fox*, and they think we are 
obliged to work for them “free gratis for 
nothing.” 
Another man sent a little dried-up 
piece of a plant which he said was grow¬ 
ing in his field, and wanted to know its 
name. I wrote him that I would gladly 
name it for him if he would send me the 
plant in bloom, as I could not identify a 
plant without the flowers. He replied 
that I was a cross old chap, aud must 
think he is a fool. Of course I thought 
nothing of the sort, as I did not know 
him. and did not know he was a fool. 
Carlyle once remarked that there were 
forty million people in England, mostly 
fools. This class is found in all coun¬ 
tries.

weather. We have had too much rain to
