For Instance, an ideal turnip is one

Seed can often be grown from such
roots much more cheaply than from
selected roots, because, in tho first
place, the mother roots are culls,
and are not as valuable for feeding,
secondly, they will produce a,
much larger quantity of seed.
During the last ten or fifteen years
the seecl trade has, to a great ex.
tent, been passing from the hands of
seedsinen Who devote all their time
to a study of seeds and
the seed trade, into the hands of lo-

petition in the seed trade, is practi-
