H OW TO SUCCEED WITH SEEDS.— 
Nothing succeeds like success, is an old saying, which 
applies, perhaps, more to the seed trade than any other. The 
reason is not far to seek. If you find the seeds of a firm succeed, 
you naturally advise your friends and neighbours, who rejoice 
with you over so desirable a discovery, and send in their orders 
accordingly. The greatest care is taken by the firm of Viccars 
Collyer & Co., Leicester, that all seeds, vegetable, flowers, etc., 
etc., should be new, 'which is one of the reasons that they have 
so rapidly achieved a position in the country ; and if you wish 
to succeed with seeds, you should order from them. Send for 
their Spring Catalogue for the Jubilee Year, sixty-four pages of 
closely printed matter, gratis and post free. In reply to 
numerous enquiries as to planting WILSON JUNIOR BLACK¬ 
BERRY this spring, any time between now and April will be 
suitable ; they have a good stock of strong plants at their 
nurseries, and are now executing orders at Vs. doz., carriage 
paid. For specialities in Raspberries and the New Melon Pear, 
see their Catalogue. — Address, VICCARS COLLYER & Co.,
