We are reminded that seed Utnc (or sowing time) will he here again shortly by the receipt of the garden calendar and seed catalogue of Messrs F. Cooper. Ltd., Wellington. This is a well illustrated book containing much useful information upon the best varieties, and complete cultural directions for sowing. Messrs F. Cooper Ltd. advertise that they have been selling seeds since 'sixty (18G0), and that their business has been growing all the time. All exports agree that there is no finer climate In the world for producing’ seed than our New Zealand climate. Cooper’s seeds are largely grown in New Zealand. The firm is the largest growers and sellers of vegetable and farm seeds (exclusive of grass seed), not. only in New Zealand, but in the Southern Hemisphere. To produce their requirements, they need over 400 acres each season, exclusively for seed purposes. Every bag of seed they receive is immediately tested for growth by Department of Agriculture, and also by themselves and no seeds that are not of the highest germination are packcted or sent (out. Open ground trials'ai’ e made by ithemselves and also upon the principal Government farms, and by other lexperts. These prove conclusively the superiority of Cooper’s seeds. The produce of Cooper’s seeds has again been wonderfully successful at the principal Shows during the past season. At Palmerston North, Hawera, Now Plymouth, and in fact most or the Shows they have practically swept the board.
