PROFITABLE GARDENING.

£OOO WORTH FROM: AN ACRE. How £OOO worth of foodstuff was produced from one acre of land was explained at Walton-on Thames Tribunal recently when an exemption wfis granted to an expert at the local Intensive .Gardens. There is no doubt Thai wonderful returns per acre can be obtained by careful cnllivalion of land planted with vegetables. For instance, a pound of Parsnip, Carrot, Swede or similar seed costing but a few shillings, with suitable sod and good culfivulioii, should produce about ton tons of foodstuff. This, even at one penny per pound (which is not nearly I lie value) equals £93 in value. 'Smaller areas should show even better results in proportion. It is, of course, important that the seeds sown should be the best procurable —strong in growth and heavy cropping selections. These are the features of Cooper's “Seeds of Success,” which are grown as far as possible in New Zealand, from their own pedigree slocks. \ou cannot afford to waste your ground and your time, in brief, you cannot afford to be without Cooper's Seeds at sowing time. For instance. Cooper's New Zealand-grown Mange! Seed bended the list of nineteen lots of mangels procured for trial from Iho principal seed merchants in all purls of the world. The crop was over 71 ions per acre. This trial was conducted hy I lie Department of Agriculinre a.I Moumabaki (see report in “.ionriml of Agriculture,” 2.1 si August. 1911), on page 141). Nothing hut the best will satisfy ns. you waul lo sow (lie “Seeds of Success,” insisl on. having Cooper's Seeds. Procurable- from seedsmen and merchants in practically every township in New Zealand.
