THE BEST is the only thing to grow. To produce best vege¬ 
tables or best flowers you must have the best seed. If you are not 
careful and buy your seed anywhere you will get a batch of seed 
not quite up to the mark. Your product will be of second grade 
quality and when you will market your produce you will dispose of 
it only at second rate prices. Seed business is a science, a real seed- 
man is a near scientist. He has to know a great deal about seeds 
before he can render real service to his customers. If you are new 
in the game of raising vegetables or flowers ask some old gardener 
or florist what he thinks about it.
