up from the advice of the largest and best, trade and amateur 
e-rowers in the country. The term “packet" being.very mis¬ 
leading, I have, where possible, given 1 lie measure, weight, or

compare them with what they buy elsewhere. My Slock of 
Seeds will be of the latest growth and choicest strains, for I have 
paid extra prices in nearly all cases to have extra selected seeds 
of very choice strains. If any doubt the quality of my seeds 
because of the low pi ices, th-y will do well to give me a portion 
of their order, and test them for themselves, against any 
others.
