“Good Vegetables,’’ says the Gardener’s Chronicle of March, 
1878, “are secured more frequently by a careful selection of 
seed than in any other way, and the high quality which they 
have attained is chiefly due to the great care of our enter- 
prising seed growers.’’ 
FROM VICK’S iLLUSTRATED MAGAZINE, FEBRUARY, 1880 
Water Cress: Seed sown early in the spring on the north 
side of brick wall, came up thick, grew well; watered well in 
dry, hot weather; used early in fall following. It was pro- 
nounced by Englishmen, used to it, as quite equal to that grown 
in water. | recommend to all persons wanting a good stomach, 
to try its cultivation —E. B. H., Springfield, III.
