THE BEST SEEDS ABSOLUTELY NEG.
ESSARY.

We cannot too strongly nor too often
urge the supreme Importance of planting
seeds that are perfectly pure and fresh.
Seeds that are offered at cheap prices are
almost invariably of doubtful origin and
uncertain age, sure to cause the planter
disappointment and loss. The thought
full planters only surety lies in buying
seeds sent out by a conscientious and
trustworthy house. A vast number of
American gardens have (and have had for
years. the utmost confidence in seeds that
bear the name of D. M, Ferry & Co., De
troit, Mich, The present generation of
planters can hardly remember the time
when Ferry's seeds We're not on sale ev-
erywhere each year and as regularly
planted by thousands-wit the greatest
faith in the unyarying quality of the seeds
and in the integrity of the Arm that grew
them. Every planter, whether already a
buyer of Ferry's Seeds or not, should send
for Ferrys Seed Annual for 1899. 1t is
mailed free to any one who writes for It.

where the caucus was held was "A difficult
matter after 1880 o'clock and several sug
gested that 1t should have been held in the
city hall, while others whose eyes smarted
under the smoke from pipes and cigars of
all kinds, thought that Battery Park
would be a better place.

Ceptance referred to his three terms and
promised to serve the ward again to the
best of his ability. Thomas H. Kelley was
