to be injured. We have, a prcat plenty of nice 

 celery-plfiiits— While Plume, Golden Dwarf, Self- 

 blanching-, New Kose. We have also a fair stock of 

 buUnose. cayenne, or Spanish peppers. Sweet- 

 potato plants are not yet ready, but we are prepar 

 ing- for a larg-er stock, both of sweet-potato and 

 yams, than we have ever had before. We can still 

 sliip strawbeiTy-plants by picking- off the blossom- 

 buds. We have a fair stock of all the varieties we 

 advertise (including- the Edgar Queen', with the 

 exception of the Jessie. I presume tiie great de- 

 mand for the .Jessie is principally as a fertilizer; 

 audi should like to ask whether o\ir experiment 

 stations and strawberry growers generally know of 

 a better plant than the Jessie, for fertilizing. The 

 Parker Earle would no doubt be tiptop, but it is a 

 a good deal later in coming into blossom than the 

 Jessie. Michel's Early we expect to recommend foi- 

 an earhj fertilizer, after we get a lot of nice plants 

 ready. The dtmand for garden seeds has been 

 greater this season, so far, than ever before since 

 we have been In the business.

North Attleboro, Mass.. Apiil 12, 1894. 

 My Dear Allen:— I don't know what will be said 

 generally about April ".4pi.," or what criticisms 

 will be made in regard to it; but one thing is just 

 sure and ceitaiii— it contains more cloth "all wool " 

 to the yard than any one journal I ever saw. It is 

 seldom we get the subject canvassed at all. but you 

 have succeeded in boiling down the whole matter so 

 that any one who has given any attention to the 

 subject, in the way of study or reading, will be able 

 to work inielligentlj and to good purpose. You 

 have reason to be proud of the April number, and I 

 congratulate you on its worth and valuta.
