The Best Seeds Absolutely Necessary. We cannot too strongly norstoo often urge the supreme importanee of plant lng seeds that are perfectly pure and fresh. Seeds that are offered at chear prices are almost invariably of doubtful origin and uncertain age, sure to cause the planter disappointment and loss. The thoughtful planters only surety lies in buying seeds sent out by a conscientious and trustworthy house. A vast number of American gardeners have (and have had for years) the utmost confidence in seeds that bear the name, D. M. Ferry & Co.,, Detroit, Mich. The present generation of planters can hardly remember the time when Ferry's Seeds were not on sale everywhere each year and as regularly planted by thousands-with the great est faith in the unvarying quality of the seeds and in the integrity of the nrm that grew them. Every planter, whether already 8 buyer of Ferry's Seeds or not, should send for Ferry's Seeds Annual for 1899. It is mailed Tree to anyone who writes for it.

NIT. II. G. Ballou, during his t-.er.y years residence in this valley, aas kept an accurate memorandum CT sHs weather-raiHfali, temperature, etc. Of the storm of the 9th and Ieth insts, he reports the largest amount es ain falling for the length of time he has ever known, 43s inches being the total measurement for the three nights and two days. The temperature only varied four degrees in that time, the thermometer ranging from 34 degrees to 3s-another unprecedented thing in this locality, the warmth of the day generally being very much greater than that of the night. We can form from this very slight conception of the terrible storms that have de- vastated the Atlantic coast for the past three weeks.
