JAPANESE BUCK W HEAT .—I would advise all whogrow Buckwheat 
to give Japanese atrial. It is not only the very best, but by far the most produc- 
tive and profitable variety in cultivation. From % bushel of seed sown, 40 bush- 
els of good seed have been harvested. A glance at the illustration will show the 
| peculiar shape of kernels, and also that they are nearly twice the size of any 
other variety. In color the kernel isa rich dark brown. Straw is heavier, and 
branches more than the Silver Hull, while it need not be sown as thickly as other 
Flour made from the Japanese is fully equal if not superior to any 
It ripens a week earlier than Silver Hull, and yields two to three 
Can be planted as far north as New Hampshire. It is also an 
excellent variety for bees. Pkt., 10 cents; lb., 3) cents; 3 lbs., 75 cents, by mail 
postpaid. By express or freight, pk., 60 cents; bus., $1.75; 10 bus., $12.50. 
SILVER HULL BUCKWHEAT.—This variety continues in bloom 
longer than the common buckwheat (therefore better for bees), matures a few 
days sooner, and under the same conditions yields much better per acre. The 
flour is whiter and more nutritious, while on account of the thinner husks 15 to 20

NEW AUSTRALIAN BROOM CORN.—This Australian variety, is 
without doubt one of the most profitabie varieties for the Am. grower of Broom 
Corn. Imported from Australia a few years ago, it has only been grown in this 
country toa limited extent, but all who have ever seen or examined the brush, 
consider thatit makes far better brooms than any wariety they have 
ever grown. Someidea ofits producing qualities can be had from the fact that 
it has readily produced in this State 500 brooms to an acre, and 50 bushels of seed. 
The brush does not get crooked or tangled, like many other varieties, and the 
gentleman who grew the seeds I have to sell this season could not find 25 tangled 
| brush in an entire field of more than an acre. The brush, in addition to being so 
straight and fine, is nearly as long again as the ordinary evergreen variety, and 
| will invariably bring better prices, when put on the market, than any other sort 
| I have ever seen, 
| 50 cents: 3 pounds, $1.25. 
My supply of seed is still limited. Packet, 10 cents; pound, 
By express or freight, peck, $1.00. 
IMPROVED EVERGREEN BROOM CORN,.—The best for general 
cultivation, and is more largely grown than any other variety; brush firm, of 
| good length and bright green color; never gets red, and brings the- highest 
market price. By express or freight, peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.00. 
CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BROOM CORN. —A strong growing variety, 
much resembling the Evergreen, but longer in brush; a bright golden color when 
ripe. Good for making hurl brooms. By expressor freight, peck, $1.00; bu., $3.50. 
By mail, both the above varieties, large pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 30 ets.; 3 Ibs., 75 ets. 
SUGAR CANE—EARLY AMBER.—This is by far the best variety for 
sugar, as it matures quickly, and has been cultivated as far North as St. Paul, 
Minn. The seed is valuable also as food for horses and cattle, and is greedily 
eaten by poultry, increasing the egg production. For e or fodder, it 
possesses important advantages. By mail, postpaid, lb., lbs., 75¢.; by ex- 
press or freight, pk.. $1.; bus. of 56 Ibs., $2.50; 10 bus. or over, $2.25 per bus. 
SUGAR CANE-EARLY ORANGE.—The favorite Southern variety. 
Yields an abundance of syrup, does not grow quite as tall as Early Amber, but 
is heavier; by mail, postpaid, lb. 30c.; 3 Ib. 75¢e.; by express or freight bu. 56 lbs. $3. 
WILD RICE.—it grows very rapidly in 1 to § feet of water, ripens late in 
Aug. or early in Sept. Should be planted broadcast from a boat, in 2 or 3 feet of 
water, haying amud bottom. Asan attraction for wild fowl it cannot be equaled. 
In large ponds and lakes it purifies the water. Does wellin marshes, and makes 
good hay. At the South two crops car be cut; all cattle are very fond of it. 
Pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 40 cts., postpaid. By express, per bushel of 15 pounds, $4.00. 
Thc TWO Best Sunflowers 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN.—Sunflower seed is one of the best egg-producing 
foods known for poultry. keeping them in fine condition and largely increasing 
the supply of eggs. It can be sown any time up to the middle of July. It 
should be grown by every poultry breeder who has the opportunity to raise only 
ensil

a few stalks even. Itmay beset in any soil where other fruits and vegeta- 
bles cannot be conveniently raised or anywhere where the soil is not 
, cultivated. The 
flowers are double the 
size of the common ya- 
riety, and a it 
fur excels the latter. Pkt.,
