4 paae flatter myself that the 
following list of Garden Seeds is unsurpassed 
by any other house in the United States; 
not as large as that found in many other cata- 
logues, but KE hawe winnowed the chaff 
from the wheat. For years past I have culled 
out all the surplus varieties with an idea of offer- 
ing only the best, and condensing the list to an 
: : 47 extent that will not prove confusing to the market- 
pols “«g}| gardener, let alone the private planter. It isrank 
(a injustice to offer the same variety of seed under 
\ he { half a dozen different names, and an absurdity 
5E to list a countlessnumber of sorts for which 
- there is no demand. 
Cy All can rest assured, however, {;

( ¥ cA ERUSALEM.—Over one thousand ‘pushels have been produced on an acre. They are very 
e hardy and resemble Potatoes in appearance: they should be planted in the same way and are 
very easily grown. If desired they need not be dug, but the hogs ean be turned in the field to root them up ; in {this way one acre 
will keep 20 head in good condition until Spring, excepting when the ground is frozen too hard i) 
for the hogs to root them up. To destroy them the ground should be plowed when plants are a JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE ROOTS TIM!

foot high. Pound, 40 cts.; 3 1bs., $1.00, by mail, postpaid. $3.00 per bushel, by express or freight, 
purchaser paying charges. 
GREEN GLOBE.—A table variety largely grown abroad, but little known here. Edible 
portions are the flower heads, which should be used before they begin to open. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 30c. 
CONOVER’S COLOSSAL.—Known to all. Pkt., 5 cts.; 02z., 
10 cts.; 14 1b., 20 cts.; lb., 50 cts. ROOTS, 1 year old, 100 by mail, 
$1.25 ; by express, 1 year old, $5.00 per 1000, 2 year old, #6.00 per 1000, purchaser paying charges. 
PALMETTO.—It is claimed that this new variety is not only much earlier than Conoyer’s, 
but is also a better yielder and of more even growth, while of a Southern origin it is well adapted 
for all sections both North and South. Pkt., 10 ets. ; 0z., 20 ets.; 14 lb., 50 ets. ; lb., $1.50. 
MAULE’S MAMMOTH.—This variety, I consider, excels all others, not only in 
tenderness and flavor, but also in productiveness. It throws out an unusual number of strong, 
well-developed shoots the entire season, and it has sold in Philadelphia markets for four times 
the price of other sorts. At three years old has yielded crops valued at $500 per acre. Pkt., 10 cts.; 
oz., 20 cts.; 44 lb., 50 cts.; Ib.. $1.80. ROOTS, 1 year old, 100 by mail, $1.50; by express, 1 year 
old, $6.00 per 1000, 2 year old, $7.50 per 1000, the purchaser paying charges. :
