For early crops sow the Early White Flat Dutch or Munich dur¬ 
ing the winter; and for summer crops sow any of the other varie¬ 
ties at intervals of a fortnight until June, in drills 12 inches apart; 
cover the seed lightly unless the season be very dry; thin out the 
plants to 6 or 8 inches apart. For fall or winter use sow the

Bear in mind we do not sell w cheap” seeds; that is an occupation enjoyed by others. Many seeds are 
grown under our personal supervision, from strains known to be of superior quality. Poor and un¬ 
reliable seed is dear at any price, and for that reason no soil-tiller can afford to trifle with "held-over” 
or untested seeds. We sell only seeds tested by an expert on our own grounds; hence you are safe in 
trusting us'with your orders.
