and then you may reasonably expect good crops. 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
thincr to be remembered no matter what the soil or the
cultivation, you will never succeed unless the seeds are 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 ersy it is to buy our
seeds by mail. Write for a catalogue it is the best ever
