“To grow excellence — plant excellence’’ 
This ancient rule of husbandry was gray 
with age before the pyramids were erected 
in the valley of the Nile. Today, as then, 
the same rule applies — strength comes 
from the strong. Avoid the folly of buy¬ 
ing poor or doubtful stock from irrespon¬ 
sible sources, remembering always that 
“as nhintinn, niill the hav'^iest he.”
