Ohe of tbeTirliKlpal reasons for se

that they contain so much more food

plants from shriveled seeds, which J

A higher price when "sold. The c!.l
law of “like produces like" applies to
plants as well as to animals. One of

put away In n dry pbee until spring,
when they should be thrashed out sep
arately and planted in a little plot In
the garden. The-foed from each head
should be sown In a row by itself.
