Of Importance to the Grower: We cannot over-emphasize the impor¬ 
tance of using only greenhouse produced new crop seed, in ERIK¬ 
SSON'S ORIGINAL PACKETS, with Eriksson's own cultural directions. 
We bring this to your attention because of the so-called "Eriksson 
Strain" that has found its way into the market.—A. B. C.
