N ature makes it mi imperative fact 
that KEXT possesses a more favourable 
CLIMATE and SOIL than any other county in 
England (perhaps even in Europe) for the pro¬ 
duction and RIPEXIXG of Seeds, also in 
COLOURIXG, BRIGHTXESS, PLUMPXESS 
_the force of Life or Germmating Powi 
stronger to withstand unfavourable weather, and 
far MORE PROLIFIC. Coming from a cal¬ 
careous sub-soil, the . thorough change (SO 
ESSEXTIAL) makes the yield of our Seeds 
marvellously rich and productive. Further, we 
are determined that the purchaser shall have the 
CHOICE and ADYAXTAGE of Seeds DIRECT 
from the ACTUAL GROWERS, and thus avoid 
Alf ASTAiil, 
the risk and deterioration where seeds are bought 
and sold half-a-dozen times between the 
SAYERS to the SOWERS. Our Illustrated 
Catalogue for the garden contains a vast amount 
of invaluable information on high-class- culture 
and gardening, and enables amateurs tobe supplied 
with the BEST of ah ’WANTS FROM THE 
GROWERS. Replete with 550 Engravings, 
Two large Yiews of our SEED FARM, The TWO 
HARD WORKERS, and Three magnificent 
COLOURED PLATES of Xew and Improved 
Plants and Xew Invaluable Vegetables—so im¬ 
portant to successful prizetakers. The whole are 
really a gift to the nation. Post-free to
