WN the following pages we have endeavored to list the 
cream of all varieties known in America that are 
really worthy of cultivation, winnowing the chaff 
from the wheat, weeding out many varieties that are 
still catalogued by other seedsmen, but which our ex- 
tended trials and experience have proven to us are un- 
worthy of further cultivation. Under this head we also 
illustrate and describe our choice Specialties; among 
them will be found many valuable novelties recently 
introduced, to the growing of which we have given 
special attention; many of which cannot be obtained 
elsewhere. The varieties which we have printed in 
CAPITALS are highly recommended, many of them 
| being improved sorts of great merit.
