The reason is obvious. Seeds are left by the owners with merchants to sell on commission, olten hut a .-mull portion of them are sold, the remainder being returned, repacked and sent out again the following year, and so continuing until as a matter of course many of the seeds are worthless. In order to get the best and most reli able seeds I have bought a large stock of Robert Buis- .of Philadelphia, a bouse whose reputation for selling fresli and pure seeds is not surpassed by any in the country ; and who never send out any seeds on commission, and consequently not liable to accumulate old stock. I think a little reflection will convince any one of the advantage of purchasing these seeds. 1 have many var ieties not to be found any where els ein town.
