Some times, by extra cultivation, you may get along pretty well on really poor soils, and sometimes, on extra soils, passable crops are made without proper cultivation, but there is one thing to be remembered no matter what the soil or the cultivation, you will never succeed unless the seeds arc all right. "Figs do not grow from thistles," nor good crops from poor seeds. We sell no seeds which are not good. Will you let us help you to grow good crops ? No matter how small operations may be, we want to furnish the seeds, and you will be surprised to find how easy it is to buy our seeds by mail.
