Y. w. c. A. BENEFIT A SUCCESS.
The benefit entertainment given at

ly three thousand people were pres
ent and program of exceptional merit
was rendered.
Mr.. Nelson c. Crews announced the
total paid memberships of the asso-
citation to the present time was $1035,

Announcement was made also that

More gardens are needed this year

sion. and at the same time they take
away what was left unsold the prev
ious season. Whether these are put
into other boxes being refilled can
not say, but have my opinion on the
subject.
Last summer I found that | had
omitted from my early order any okra
seed, ana had not enough seed of late
cabbages. Not wishing to send off TO
city for two papers of seed, | de-
termlned to test the box seed / got
a paper of okra seed marked Per-
kins Mammoth" l have been grow
ing this variety for several years.
also got "A paper of Drumhaad cab
bage seed. The Colored pictures on
these papers were very handsome
specimens. Well. I planted the okra
and it grew strongly enough, and
got pods some short, some long. some
thick, and some slim, and plants that
grew three feet tall while others grow
seven feet or more in height, and
not a typical pod of Perkins okra in
the whole lot.
The cabbage seed also grew finely
but three-fourths OF the plants never
showed any inclination to make a
head, though there were a few fine
heads. Now to a market grower that
would mean a dead loss Of the greater
part OF the crop. while with me. having
plenty of good cabbage from seed
bought from a responsible scotsman,
II meant o.lly more informa ton Of
how people get cheated in garden seed
My intention In buying the FIVE cent
papers was to test them and to prove
what I had all along believed con-
corning this class of seed. could
have gotten from the same store seed
in the papers of first class seed
house at 10 cents packet. ana doubt
less those would have shown better
results.
Take the cabbage seed alone. a
10 cent PAPER from a reputable seed
house would have given me plants
nearly all OF which would have headed
and would have given n profitable
crop. The other packet for five cents
was the dearest by far, for 1t made
crop that was nearly worthless.
Therefore. what I wish especially 10
urge is. that the hest garden seed AL
ways command tho highest price. and
are far cheaper than any low priced
seed on the market. To get the best
vegetables and the best crop of them
, get the test seed to he had and pay
what such seed are worth. Seed pro-
