ate quantity of vegetable seeds for dis

Probably there will be considerable de-
mand for them this year and would like
to make known to your readers that the
distribution of seeds is about to begin
and if any of them desire seeds to be sent
and will drop me postal card to that eff
feet to Washington l will see that their
wants are supplied SO far as possible.
Yours truly,

should not wait until the last mo.
ment to exercise the privilege of con.
