NOTICE. 



All letten, desiring information respecting noxious or other inflects, should 

 be accompanied by apeciniens, the more in number the better. Such Bpcci- 

 meoB should always be packed alonR with a little cotton, wool, or some such 

 Bubatance, in any little paste-board box that ia of convenient size, and Mver 

 enclosed loose in the leUcr. Botanists like tlieir specimens pressed as flat as a 

 pancake, but entomologista do not. Whenever possible, larvae (i. e. grubs, 

 caterpillars, 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 tlieir journey ; otherwise they generally die on the 

 road and shrivel up to nothing. Along with tlie specimens send as full 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 destroys 

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

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

 not only of high scieotiflc inteiest, but of great practical importance* 



Advertisements should be .sent in before the 20th 

 of the month. Special rates given to those wishing 

 to occupy a half or Avhole page for several months.

MAMMOTH CLUSTER TOMATO. 



TIII.S TUM-ATO is a cross between a French unknown va- 

 riety and the Lester's Pi'rfected, retaining the smooth- 

 ness and solidity of the latter, growing in clusters, each 

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

 fectly smooth and nearlv round, about the size of a BaWwin 

 apple; color of a rii..'v jiink, and keeps well; solid, has but 

 few seeds, and is nn'douht one of the best early varieties we 

 have. It is unexcellcil lur eating raw, and is delicious for 

 cooking, being verv hinli flavored. In earliness it excels 

 the " Keyes Tomato." and ri|Kns its fruit evenly, about 

 ten days before the Earlv Hed Uinloubteilly the best mar- 

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

 ed from seed in I8IU. In IsliS, it riiiened its iruit ten days 

 before the Earlv Smooth Ued. Seed Packets '2.'ic each. An 

 Illustrated Ciniilar, inntaining recommendations, etc., 

 sent free on receipt of stamp. 



Now published, inv Ilhisl rated Floral Guide and Catalogue 

 of Si'cds and Plants." No expense has been spared to make 

 it the most useful book of its- kind published. It will con- 

 tain two beautifiiUv colored plates, one of which will be the 

 celebrated " Mrs. Pidlock " Geranium, together with over 

 twentv-llvc beautiful engravings, also practical directions 

 for the cultivation of all kinds of flowers, designs for laying 

 out the flower garden, etc. This beautiful work is sent 

 gratis to all my customers, and to all others, on receipt of
