 barrel. The other seconds are all sold except Mills' 

 Prize, Carman No. 1, and Manum's Enormous. 



THE NEW RUSSET POTATO. 



You will see by our new price list that the price of 

 this new potato has been reduced from So. 50 to $2.50. 

 They are worth this money for table use in most lo- 

 calities, as they are one of the best table potatoes I 

 know of, and, so far as my experience goes, they come 

 the nearest to being a scab-proof potato of any I have 

 ever grown. The reduction in price is because we 

 have a large stock on hand, and they do not seem to 

 move off as rapidly as we had expected. They are all 

 choice firsts, no seconds, and are, at the pre.sent writ- 

 ing, free from sprouting. Besides all the above, thej' 

 are almost equal as a yielder to any potato I know of. 



ANSWERING KIND LETTERS. 



Dear friends, I am deeply grateful, and thank God 

 ever so many times every day, for the exceedingly 

 kind letters that are coming continually, and I great- 

 I3' regret that it is utterly impossible for me to reply 

 to each and everj' writer as I should like to do. My 

 correspondence would prevent my getting into that 

 little greenhouse at all if I should try to write even a 

 brief personal letter to each one of you. And I re- 

 gret, also, to tell you that it is entirely out of the ques- 

 tion for me to undertake to send cuttings of my fbvor- 

 ite plants, as I should like to do. Our two friends. 

 Pike and Danley (see page 279, last issue), make a 

 business of furnishing every thing at exceedingly low 

 prices. They can send you cuttings by mail, of all 

 plants I describe or mention.
