WHAT'S IN A NAME?

' A SANDON EYE INCIDENT. All interesting story regarding the bearing of a name on the sale of grass-seed is told by the "Rangitikei Advocate." l J or somo years Messrs. Barraud and Abraham have been supplying large quantities of seed to a client who has a large property a long way from Sandon. They were never able, however, to persuade him to use Sandon rye grass-seed, and feeling sure, that if he once saw tlio Sandon country and realised how perfectly suitable that land is for ryo grass his objections to using the seed would be overcome, they persuaded him to come to Palmerston, and took him out to .see some of tho farms whence they regularly got a supply. Time did not permit of them taking him to all the many growers whose seed they handle, but tl'ie few they visited were quite enough—their client was delighted with the country—they booked his order, and he said, "In the future I shall always sow 'Sandon'-grown rye. This trip has ben an oye-opener to me; I had an idea tho 'Sandon' Tye grass came off 'candy' country."
