SKIJD POTATOKS. 



.\t pre.seiit writing, Aug. 11, no one can tell what 

 jxitatoes for seed are going to be worth the coming 

 season. As eating-potatoes are worth "') cts. to SI.IM a 

 bushel in most oi" our large cities, the prospect i.s that 

 seed potatoes are not going to be very much cheapen 

 If you wi.sh to send in your orders we will make the 

 price as low as that of any other responsible potato- 

 dealer. 



NMCK OHMER STRAWHHRRY-PLANTS. 



Orders are so far ahead for the.se that we can not 

 take any more at le.ss than 25 cts. each. This is for 

 potted transplanted plants postpaid by mail.
