’s Seeds that you can
buy today at the ‘‘store around the
corner are surprisingly energetic.
What is more, they are fresh. What
is most important, they are pure-
bred! These Ferry’s Seeds came
from plants that measured up to
the Ferry standard in size, color,
flavor, productivity — plants that
have handed their inheritance on.
They are pedigreed seeds!—in
the strict sense you mean when you
say a race-horse is pedigreed. Their
parents, grandparents, great grand-
parents all were of fine true <
stock, without an inferior strain.
Doesn t this mean something
to your garden? Send for the
Ferry s Seed Annual to plan what
you want. Remember that Ferry
makes thousands of tests a year to
determine the trueness of every
seed you now can spill into your
hand from a bright Ferry packet.
Garden facts in the Annual make
it far more than a catalog. Address
D. M. Ferry & Co., Dept. H,

ENERGETIC seeds take no more dig-
ging, or raking, or caring for in a
garden, than seeds that are not so
full of the spirit to live. But think
of the difference at harvest time!
The energetic seeds withstand dis-
ease better — grow better and
stronger — produce more vigor-
ously and more abundantly.

The teachers were complimented by
Mrs. Hutton, who was especially
pleased with the systematic manner in
which the records are being kept. She
was surprised to learn that two units
in English had been secured the firs
year. She pointed out the need of a
new building and was glad to learn
that the matter of meeting this need
was being considered by the district.
