NOTICE. 



All k'Ufi'8, desiring iuforuiation respecting noxious ur otlior insicti, aiiuuld 

 be acconipmiied by specimens, the more In number the better. Such speci- 

 incns ehould always be packed along with a little cotton, wool, or some such 

 substance, in any little paste-board box that is of convenient size, a»rf never 

 enclosed lonae in the letter. Botanists like their specimens pressed na flat as a. 

 pancake, but entomologidte do not. "NMienever possible, lanie (i. e. Rnibs, 

 eaterpillarB, maggots, etc.) should be packed alive, in some tight tin 

 box— the tighter the better— along with a supply of their appropriate food 

 sufficient to last them on their journey ; otherwise they generally die on the 

 road and shrivel up to nothing. Along with the specimens send as fiill an 

 account as possible of the habits of the insect, respecting which you desire 

 information; for example, what plant or plants it infests; whether it destroy a 

 the leaves, the buds, the twigs, or the stem ; how long it has been known to 

 you; what amount of damage it has done, etc. Such particulars are often 

 not only of high scientific interest, but of great practical importance.

 - and the Lester's Perfected, retaininf; Ihe sniooth- 

 nes,s and solidity of the latter, ja'owing in (.-lusters, each 

 stem bearing froin si.v to twelve tomatoes on it. It is per- 

 fectly smooth and nearly round, about the size of a Baldwin 

 apijle; color of a rosy p'ink, and keeps well; solid, has but 

 few seeds, and is no'doubt one of the best early \arieliis wc 

 liave. It is tmexcelled for eating raw. and is delici(ui> for 

 rooking, being very high flavored. In earline^s il excels 

 the "Keyes Tomato," and ripens its fruit evenly, about 

 ten days before the Early Bed. Undoubtedly the best mar- 

 ket variety of tomato in existence. This variety was obtain- 

 ed from seed in 1861. In l.SO.'j, it ripened its iniit ten days 

 before the Early Smooth Bed. Seed I'ackets 25c each. An 

 lUusti'ated Circular, containing recommendations, etc., 

 sent free ou receipt of stamp.
