the large varieties in the ‘market, on 
the same soil, conditions and treatment. 
It is twenty days earlier than the 
Livingston’s varieties, which is a great 
consideration for the market gardener. 
I recommend it very highly. Do not 
fail to give it a trial.

Lentz Beet. This new strain of 
Blood Turnip Beet originated with one 
of the most prominent market gardeners 
around Philadelphia. This beet, as 
selected and grown by him, has had a 
great reputation, in the surroundings of 
the above place, but the seed has been 
earefully guarded and kept, until re- 
cently, when it fell into the hands of a 
seed grower, from whom I have received 
my supply. It is fully as early as the 
Egyptian Beet, but larger and of better 
quality; it has a fine turnip form with 
smooth roots, dark blood red flesh, 
tender and sweet at all times, never be- 
coming tough and stringy, even when 
old. The cut is an exact representation 
ofitsshape. Giveitatrial. ~

originator claims to have The Largest 
Grained and Smallest Cobbed Pure 
White Dent Corn in the world. The 
erain is so large, and the cob is so small, 
that by breaking an ear in half, one 
grain will cover the entire end of the 
cob. Theears grow seven to nine inches 
in length, and six and a half inches in 
circumference, and are generally borne 
three to six to a stalk, thus making it 
enormously productive. It ripens early, 
maturing in one hundred to one hundred 
and ten days from planting. It is espe- 
Hickory King Corn.
