Sale of Garden Seed Is Heavy
for This Time Of Year.
Some of the Gardeners Have
Planted Seed.

Gardeners in the northern part Of
the county have begun their garden
making. according to the seed dealers
in North Topeka Some garden was
planted before the last big snow which
fell last week. However, most OF this
was done by the larger class of gar
deners who have planted the seed for
early spring produce.
The rank and file Of the gardeners
will not begin their planting until the
to the seed dealers. The dealers re-
port that the seed sales are heavy for
this time Of the year, and they are
looking forward to a big business with
in q short time.
Hotbeds which were made some
time ago are now producing q small
quantity OF early vegetables. The seed
dealers in North Topeka are very
warnings which have been sent
through the state as to the inferior
quality of the seed grown in this Sec
ton of Kansas. And it is safe to say
that they have a right to be peeved:
tests as high II not higher than some
Of that which comes from other states.

seeds from the North side seed houses
will be large. A rough estimation
shows that Is per cent Of the garden
and truck farms in Shawnee county
are located north Of the city.
