It's an old claim that cucumber,
melon and similar seeds. three or four
years old. will give plants Of more
dwarfish growth and earlier fruiting
than do strictly fresh seeds. Someone
has reported TO the Royal Horticultur-
al Society (England) that he obtains
the best results with melons by plant
ing mostly old seeds, with few plants
from new seed to furnish pollen IL
abundance for the others. My expert
ence is that the difference in the be-
havior of the plants. from old and new
seed. are quite slight. But more ex.
Deriments should be made along this
line.

There are few better farming regions
than the upper counties Of this PENN
sula. and there are there a few tracts
of what would be called low priced
land Coming southwark on the Pen.
insula the land varies greatly in quail
ity, improvement and price, and as in
most other sections there are goot
lands and poor lands, cheap lands ant
high priced ones, and no one should
ever think Of investing in real estate
anywhere without careful personal in
spection. For easy and profitable farm
ing near the best markets of the coun
try the Peninsula has very great ad
vantages.
