CHEAP SEED-MIXTURES: A WARNING.
Purchasers of seed for bush burns and hill country are advised against the buying of “ cheap ” mixtures as advertised throughout the Dominion, without first ascertaining whether they are really worth the attractive prices asked. Several analyses made on behalf of prospective buyers have shown that the mixtures in all cases are worth approximately only one - half of the price asked, and that a mixture of good-quality seeds in the same proportions could be bought for about id. per pound more than is asked for the inferior, seed. Samples of advertised cheap seed are being obtained from various sources, and the results of. analyses -will be published in the Journal.
