 promise to realize any thing- but current salable 

 values, nor to hold. Pancoast & Gkib^fiths, 



Oct. 25. Philadelphia, Pa.

lettuce in NOVEMBER. 



We are just now marketing perhaps the finest 

 lettuce we ever raised, both Grand Rapids and Hen- 

 derson's New York. The former is the more hand- 

 some of the two; but the crisp solid heads of the 

 New York, like little heads of cabbage, are more 

 toothsome. Both kinds were from plants that came 

 up where we raised our lettuce seed, so we can 

 not tell exactly when the seed was planted. 



SEED potatoes FOB 1889. 



The cellar under the building where our market 

 wagon is loaded up is now pretty nearly full of 

 beautiful potatoes— Early Ohio, Early Pearl, Lee's 

 Favorite, and Empire State. These four are my 

 choice; and for immediate orders we can furtiish 

 best selected;at75 cents per bushel; second quality, 

 .50 cents per bushel. The second quality are small 

 potatoes, potatoes that are scabby, and punched by 

 the digging-fork. They maybe jiist as good, but 

 they do not look as handsome. Of course, we shall 

 ask more for our seed potatoes after they have 

 been wintered over. Demand and supply will have 

 to decide how much more.
