THE GARDENING WORLD 
October 8. 1904. 
seeds must not be allowed to become dry by putting them m bags 
or boxes. They should be stratified or put in layers m sand m a 
box or some other suitable vessel where there will be no difficulty 
in keeping the sand just moist until spring. Keeping them in 
sand is merely intended to preserve the vitality of the seeds until 
time to sow them in the open. If you use white sand there will 
be no difficulty in finding the seeds when wanted. If you intend 
to keep the different kinds separate, the box, if large, should be 
partitioned off into sections by means of upright pieces of board, 
so that the air may be readily get. in through the openings at 
the bottom of the box, and thus keep the seeds in a healthy con¬ 
dition. No attempt should be made at closing the box m such 
a way as to hermetically seal it.

Why do the Public Buy Vi-Cocoa? 
Do you know that your mental health depends very much on 
your bodily health, and, therefore, on your food? Thousands of 
people, who first tried Yi-Cocoa as an experiment and now use 
it daily, have ascertained the fact. 
We. again repeat that not only your physical health and 
strength depends on the proper regulation of your diet, but also 
your moral character aud ycur intellectual and commercial pro¬ 
gress. 
“ Then I will try Yi-Cocoa,” you say—-and them forget- to- do so, 
although we are daily publishing the striking testimony of men 
and women who confirm our statement that Dr. Tibbies’ Yi- 
Cocoa is indeed the perfect Food Beverage of the People. 
There is no> cheaper or better article on the market. It is sold 
by all griocers and sto-re®, in 6d. packets, and 9d. and Is. 6d. 
tins ; or you can. try it absolutely free by writing (a post-card 
will do) to- Yi-Cocoa, Ltd., 60, Bunhill Row, London, E.C., for 
a dainty sample- tin.
