APPEAL TO FARMERS AND GARDENERS.

BY PRESIDENT WILSON. ' ' President Wilson has issued the following appeal to American Farmers:— "The supreme need of our own nation and of the nations with which ve are co-operating, is an abundanec of supplies, and especially of foodstuffs- The importance of an adequate food supply, especially for the present year, is superlative. Without abundant food, alike for the armies and the peoples now at war, the whole great enterprise upon which we have embarked will break down and fail. The world's food reserves are low. Not only during the present emergency, but for some time after peace, there will be a pronounced shortage of foodstuffs. Upon the farmers of the Allies, therefore, in large measure rests the fate of the war and the nations." It is more than ever necessary to plant only the highest grade of seeds. Seeds that have been tested and proved of good germination, and not only this, but which can be depended upon "as the best type and of the heaviest cropping capacity. Such seeds are "Cooper's seeds,* generally spoken of by exhibitors and farmers as the •'seeds of success" Mr. W. iSvan?, Rongomai, says of these seeds;—<From the produce of Cooper's seeds, I won first prize for Succession cabbage, also pumpkins (weight 541b), 6 onions (131b), and best collection of vegetables, also winner of most points in the vegetable section, winning the special trophy (rose bowl), value 5 guineas, three years in succession. There are good reasons why they call Cooper's seeds the "seeds of wiceess." Now, make up your mind to take no chances, but ask for Cooper's Seeds, either in packets or from the bulk, and insist upon seeing the name on the baes. Catalogues free
