AtNSTAMCE OF GROWTH.

It is a pleasure, in this day of great in
dustrial combinations, to note an instance
where an independent concern has at
tained TO mammoth proportions, and has
grown steadily but surely for years from
small beginning into the fullness of the
present time. Such an institution is cited
in the seed business of d. NJ. Ferry & Co.,
which for nearly half century has gone
forward each year, constantly adding new
customers and retaining its old ones, until
it is to day the source Of seed supply from
which the great crops of this country
spring. Seed houses have come and gone
some survived and fourished for years,
but finally succumbed for one reason or
another-while Ferry's kept growing all
the time. Thousands of farmers, garden
ers and flower growers look to them year
after year for the seeds from which the
prosperity of their fields and gardens
is TO grow. and the fact that they are
never disappointed in Ferry's seeds is
the secret of the wonderful expansion of
this popular firm. You can buy their seeds
IN every city. town or hamlet of this land,
and you are always certain that they are
fresh. true 10 name and SHre to grou.

moist steam, taken from a pipe

this method tried during a fire in

was marvellous. The entire build
