PROFITABLE GARDEJOHG '£9oo WORTH FROM AN ACRE. How £9OO worth of foodstuff was produced from one aero of land waa explained at Walton-on-Thames Tribunal recently, when an .exemption was granted to an expert at the local intensive gardens. There is no doubt that wonderful returns per acre can be obtained bv careful cutivation of land planted with vegetables. For instance, a pound of parsnip, carrot, swede or similar seed costing but a few shillings, with suitable soil and good cultivation, should produce about 10 tops of foodstuff. This, even at one penny per pound (which is not nearly the value) equals £93 in value. Smaller areas should show even better results in. proportion. It is, of course, important that seeds sown should be of the bert 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 Zenland from their own pedigree stocks. You cannot afford to waste your ground aud your time. In, brief, you cannot afford to be without Cooper's seeds at Mowing time. For instance, Coopers New Zealand grown mangel seed headed the list of nineteen lots procured for trial from the principal seed merchants in all parts of the world. The crop was over 71 tons an acre. This trial was conducted by the Department of Agriculture at Moumaliaki (see report in Journal of Agriculture, August 21, 1916, page 141). Nothing bnt the best will satisfy us. If you want to sow the seeda of success, insist on having Cooper's seeds. Procurable from seedsmen and merchants in practically every tewnahip in New Zealand.
