EFFICIENCY IN PEODUCTION. Yds, it is of the utmost importance to the .Empire just now. "Upon this may (and probably will) turn the whole outcome of the war. Foreseeing this many months ago, we had th& pleasure and the privilege of offering a donation of One Hundred Guineas' worth of Cooper's famous seeds (mostly grown by us in N.Z.), for use to increase the supplies of fresh vegetables and cool salads for "our boys" in England, France, and (or) by French peasants to help to resow .their torn and bleeding country. A little help is better than a lot of pity. The Hon. the Minister of Defence, Sir James Allen, kindlv wrote us under date Ist December, 1916, saving: "I am very grateful indeed to 'yon, and shall be only too pleased to "accept your generous offer." We deemed- it a. privilege to bo ablo to help. The seeds were forwarded next week, and now thousands of.packets of Cooper's Seeds of Success are 4>eing sown in France and England. _ Now to come nearer home: It is time for us to prepare the ground for the coming spring. Dig it up and allow-too earth to sweeten. Make up your mind now what you are to sow-and that you intend to have one of the best littlo "ardens about this year. Write for. our catalogue.
