Letter to Clayton J. Brewer, McConnellsburg, Pa. Dear Sir: Suppose yoif are growing an acre or two of cab bages; where'll you get your seed? The price of Long Island eecd is 2 lb; the Germans send over tons ot "cabbage seed" 50c lb. Most gardeners buy the Ger man seed; of course, you kaow they wouldn't pay $2 for cabbage seeds, when they could get it for 50c. And that's how people do about everything. Careful people buy the smallest package of each, count out 100 seeds of each, and grow them a week in a hot house; then count their plants. They've got 100 Long Island plants and 10 Ger man. How do yoo think, the Long Island cabbage seed growers ac count for that? They'll tell you the German seed is mostly tur nip, which looks like cabbage, but isn't. Vby didn't the turnip seed grow? Tho Germans had killed it, baked it What did they bake it for? Dead seeds tell no tales. There's a whole business in killed seeds. A dealer can get all the dead seed he wants, that look like cabbage and something else; Re can mix them with actual seeds, a pound to an ounce, and sell you your seeds at whatever price you like to pay and what ever profit bo likes to take. The same wiih paint; you can paint with whitewash or paint, poor paint or good; you can pay your painters $J a day for brush ing it on. Hut whitnuasli is whitewanh, poor paiot u poor paint, and good is good. Yuu'd better buy good, and pick out your good by the uum ber ot gallons it taken to cover a "job; least gallons, best paint; . least gallons, least cost by $5 a gallon; least gallons, most wear. Better buy Long Island seeds, but try 'em first. Better buy Devoe, bnt try it first. Yours truly 81 '. V. W. Devoe & Co. P. 8. Hull & Bender, McCcto nellsburg; J.
