demand for this seed is sufficient to guarantee

us are asking from 81 50 to $40, aud one evidence
Of seed being spurious is the fact OF its being

on this subject of inferior seed. Many seed
dealers bought and sold seed last year which
they may honestly have believed to be genuine,
which was not; and some farmers, we are
sorry to say it, who raised twenty-five bushels
sold more than twice that quantity. The demand
which the great success Of this grain the past
season. has created will sweep off the entire
stock In a short time, and will offer unusual
advantage for bogus operators; and we are COM

protection of the public, 10 publish the above
facts. The only safe way for the farmer is to

We claimed last year that the Norway Dat

We claimed that they were better in quality.
Reliable farmers say they are worth 100 per

make whittier and sweeter flour than the best
wheat.
Farmers who can do so are invited to visit
either of our stores, and examine the grain and
specimens of stalks, root branch and head. We
have mammoth roots producing as many as 2ij
stalks from single kernel, which are visited by
hundreds daily, and considered, justly, as we
think, the wonder of the agricultural world.
We shall continue to furnish the genuine Rams

fortune on the crop, from few bushels.
