Tlie last four pieces are slig'htly defective, but the 

 prices at which they are offered is less than one- 

 fourth what new goods would cost in full roll lots. 

 The prices on the other items are the wholesale job- 

 bing' rate of full rolls in lots of 25 or more, and 

 therefore a rare bargain.

OUR STRAIN OF MAMMOTH SWEET CORN. 



I am sorry to say that wo are again .sold out, with 

 the exception of a little we have saved for half-pint 

 packages. Price, per half-pint, 10 cts. If wanted 

 bymiil, add 3 cts. for postage. We can. however, 

 furnish any quantity of mammoth sweet Cf)rn by 

 purchasing of other seedsmen. It maybe as good 

 as our own strain; but judging from past experi- 

 ence wo fear it will not prove so. We can furnish 

 this latter at the usual price— 15 cts. per quart; 75 



cts. pel' peck, $2 75 per hnshei. We menlion this be- 

 cause, if you o.der it, we wish to ha\'e it under- 

 slondthai it is not of our own raising, and of the 

 strain thiit wo have boon furnisliing our customers 

 for inoio tlniri ten yo;irs past. 



WIIITt TOP ONION-SETS. 



W(^ liuve tln;illy succeeded in getting a bushel, but 

 they cost us $7..'>0. Wo are jioing to plant them, 

 every one, for big onions, and then ne.xt year we 

 shall pliint the big onions for sets. Here is wli;it we 

 find in regafd tothoni, in V'lughari's cattilog: 



"The onions aro ready very (luickly for table use, 

 and the matui-od bulbs art^ very sweet and nuld. 

 Their silvery -white appearance and globe shape 

 make them very attractive if Wiinted as mature 

 bulljs for market purpose. The late Prof . Cassidy, 

 of the Colorado Agricultural College, said this was 

 the finest, earliest, and best onion for the market 

 gardener as well as for home use." 



When we bought the bushel we did not intend to 

 sell any; but it' any of the friends, howe\ > i-, are 

 anxious to trv them we will furnish .5-cent i>ackaires 

 containing about a dozen sets. We really hope they 

 will turn out etjual to the alcove. The sets them- 

 selves are very handsome little white onions. 



WATER-CRESS SEED. 



The kind we are using in our greenhouse we can 

 furnish you at 5 ct^. per packet, or 40 cts. per cjunce. 

 The seed" is so small that a 5-cent packet will proi-a- 

 bly furnisb you all the seed you want to start with. 



MANN'S GREEN-BONE CUTTERS. 



We have been selling for several years WiLson's 

 bone-mills for grinding dry bones for poultry. 

 Green bones, with scraps of meat and gristle, con- 

 tain more valuable matter for poultry, when prop- 

 erly cut up. You can generally buy dry ground 

 bone for poultry, in feed-stores, cheaply; but green 

 bones have to be cut up as used. It is, therefore, 

 more necessary to have a machine that will cut up 

 all such bones fine enough for poultiy. The ma- 

 chines shown in cut below are probably the best 

 thing made for this purpose. They are so well 

 adapted to the purpose that the manufacturers war- 



rant every machine to cut dry or fresh bones with 

 the meat, gristle, and all, without clog or difficulty, 

 I or money will be refunded; and for the hand cut- 

 I ters, they promise to furnish without charge all 

 ; parts which may break while the machine is in act- 

 ual use during two years following the pui'chase of 

 1 the cutter. Send for circular giving full particu- 

 lars. We have put in a small power machine, and 

 can recommend them. The hand machines are 

 j shown at the loft. The uppei' one is No. 2, wliich 

 ; we can furnish for f 18 On, and the lower one No. 6, 

 I for $1.5.(KI. No. 2 weighs 142 lbs., and No. 6 98 lbs. 

 1 They are shipped dii-ect from factory in Milford.
