FARMING FOR PROFIT. 



Tt is conceded that this large and comprehensive book, 

 (advertised in another column by J. C. McCurdy &. Co., 

 of Philadelpliia, the well-known publisliers of Standard 

 works,) is not only the newest and handsomest, but alto- 

 gether the BEST work of the kind which has ever been 

 published. Thoroughly treating the great subjects of 

 general Agriculture, Live-Stock, Fruit-Growing, Busi- 

 ness Principles, and Home Life; telling just what the 

 farmer and the farmer's boys want to know, combining 

 Science and Practice, stimulating thought, awakening 

 inquiry, and interesting every member of the family, 

 this book must exert a mighty influence for good. It is 

 highly recommended by the best agricultural writers 

 and the leading papers, and is destined to have an ex- 

 tensive sale. Agents are wanted everywhere. jan-lt

LARGE LATE FLAT DUTCH CABBAGE. 



Large, Flat, Solid Heads, Short Stems. 



A HOME ORGAN FOR FARMERS. ; 



For a long period of time we have had this stock of 

 Cabbage in cultivation, originally obtained from the 

 German and Sweedish market gardeners. It has been a 

 part of our business occupation to keepit undefiled, and 

 t«-day we offer it in itsorig:innl purity, equal 

 in quality with the very befeit in the country, 

 even thOugh the best should cost a hundred 

 ^dollarw per pound. 



We have made this crop a study and give our cus- 

 tomers the result of many years close observation, for 

 which our opportunities may be judged by the fact that 

 we have, each and every year, Hbout one hundred and 

 fifty acres of cabbage raised expressly to produce seed 

 for the ensuing season, afid from which selections are 

 made with scrupulous care, guided by experience. Not 

 a single grain of seed is raised from Stalks all from 

 Selected Heads. , 



We will mail our Catalogue free of charge to all appli- 

 cants.
