T he following STATEMENT SHOWS at 
once the great advantage in having our own home-grown 
VEGETABLE SEEDS direct from the most sunny spot and 
best soil, at nearly wholesale prices. It also gives the result of 
one of the most careful botanical tests perhaps ever carried out, 
the accuracy of which is given by one of the largest London 
Houses: - No. of Seeds 
germinated out of 100. 
The Kent Crop, grown in Mid Kent, soil light 
and early . SO to 90 
Bedfordshire Crop, soil light, sandy, and early 55 to 70 
Essex Crop, soil generally rather heavy ... 59 to 60 
Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire Crop, soil 
flat, wet, and cold . 40 to 45 
The change of Seed coming from our rich calcareous soil acts 
on the vigour and productiveness all the season equal to half a 
coating of manure.
