' How To Get Good Seed For the ,
Garden.
As a rule, it ia bad policy to buy !
garden seed that are ottered at low I
prices, for it coate morn to grow j
good seed tban poor ones, and the ;
! very fact you are offered aeed be- i
i low the prico charged by the boat'
seedsmen is sufficient evidence
that they ehould be let alone. I
Buy only the beat, and buy from |
seedsmen of long standing and
unblemished reputation If you {
get a seed catalog with the most
impossible pictures of fields of!
vegetables, watermelons, etc.. that
is usually a good catalog to put in
the tire. But when a catalog has
photographic illustrations in half-;
tone taken direct from tbe plants,
themselves it ahowa a man who ia
not trying to deceive, and general

kept the church alive, and were
true to the church while others
drifted away, and some joined
other denominations, they remain
ed true and faithful amid all the
i days of Smithtown, aod both died
rejoicing in the Lord. It was our
j pleasure to visit sister Smith
i frequently. We always fouud her

| never about her neighbors. We
I found her many times rejoiciug
