New Sri-f-Huskino (ot:n. 



Www/ %mlf^MmmMM% ©o>rau 



A new variety ; of dwarf habit ; very early, perhaps the earliest Field Corn in cultivation, ripening fully ten days before the 

 Early Yellow Canada. The ears are large, averaging ten inches in length, while the cob is small. It often produces three ears to- 

 the stalk, seldom confining itself to one, even under ordinary cultivation. The great merit we claim for this variety, however, 

 lies in its departure from the habits of all other Corn, in the inclination to strip itself clean of its husk, a distinctive feature w& 

 have tried to show in the above engraving, and which has suggested the name of " Self -Husking." So marked a peculiarity of: 

 this kind is of no little value where large areas of Field Corn are grown. 



Price, 40 cts. per quart ; $2.50 per peck.

 The Volga Water Melon.

In this new Water Melon, of Russian origin, we have something that is most distinct, and, at the same time, the finest*, 

 flavored variety that we have ever tasted. As our ilhistration shows, it is a perfect globe in shape, of small size— the weight rarely 

 exceeding fifteen pounds. It is, however, wonderfully productive, and for private use we know of nothing that is likely to prove 

 more desirable. We must again refer to the quality, which in the specimens we have now tasted for two years has exceeded in 

 richness and delicacy of flavor the Icing varieties, which are usually accepted as the standard of quality among Water Melons. It 

 remains to be seen whether this variety will succeed generally in this country. We can say, however, that as far north as Quebec^ 

 Canada, it has done admirably, and we believe that it is well worthy a trial. 



Price, 25 cts. per pkt. ; five pkts. for $1.00.

With me, the Early Summer Cabbage is almost as early as the Jersey Wakefield. I sold on the 25th of July 4,000 Early Summer in one 

 day, almost a clean cut of the field. I was also very much pleased with the Hackensack Musk Melon. R. BRODIE.
