order Garden Seed Early.

Cheap garden seed is often dear
at any price. i'm the opinion OF J ).
Gardner, of the Missouri College of
Agriculture. A high price is not
necessarily a guarantee of high quail
ity, bat it does not pay to buy cheap
seeds which may not grow. or may
not produce vegetables of good
variety if they do grow The loss of
time and ground is so great that the
slightly higher cost of seeds fur
nished by reliable firms saves the
planter money in the long run
The buyer must depend entirely
lron the reputation of the seedman
to insure his getting seed Of the
variety he orders, but after the seed
has been secured. he can test its
termination power. or get the Col
leee Of Agriculture to do it for him
free ot charge. II he makes the
test himself, IL is better TO plant fifty
or a hundred of the seeds in a fiat
box Of earth and see how many Of
them will develop into plants They
should be planted just as deeply in
the lox as they would if planted IN
