SEED, SWEET POTATOES. 
We make a specialty of seed sweet potatoes, growing our 
stock exclusively in New Jersey, about nine miles from our 
Philadelphia warehouse, where we have unequalled facili- 
ties for handling and storing. We pack them tor shipment 
in boxes and barrels, with the greatest care ; but as they are 
very susceptible toclimatic changes, we cannot hold our- 
selves responsible for their condition on arrival after long 
journeys of several hundred miles.

far superior to all other varieties in carliness, productive- 
ness and quality. Ofabright yellow color, shape nearly 
round, and shorter than the ordinary varieties. Will pro- 
duce fine edible tubers in ten weeks from planting slips. 
Owing to its extreme earliness, it is better adapted to culti- 
vation in the Northern States than any other variety. Does 
well on any ordinary soil, and is the best of keepers. Price,

oF NINING YN 
TWO CROPS OF CROWN JEWELS IN ONE SEASON. 
G. S. Litt, St. John, Kansas, Sept. 20, 1890, writes: ‘‘The 
gem of all the seeds I got last Spring is the Crown Jewel Po- 
tato. Iraised a tine crop of the early, sold the largest, 
planting the medium size for second crop; these are now _ as 
large as goose eggs, still growing. They were planted in 
July. Thisisthe only potato that will make two crops in 
this climate. Last year the second crop yielded over 400 
bushels to the acre. The Champion Springand Summer Let- 
tuce is asplendid variety ; stands drouth perfectly, for we 
had a scorcher this year, but this Lettuce flourished finely. 
Your Market Gardeners’ No. 2 Cabbage and Atlantie Prize 
Tomato are both the earliest and most productive, the only 
varieties of these vegetables that stood well through our 
severe drouth.” 
CROWN JEWEL THE EARLIEST 
GREATER IN YIELD. 
Dr. J. Z. TAYior, Deal’s Islind, Md., June 2, 1890, writes: 
“Parties who watched my Crown Jewel Potatoes dug this 
day pronounced them the most prolific potato they ever be- 
held, and the largest, taking them all in all, they had ever 
seen dug this early in the season. Others around here, who 
planted, as they supposed, the earliest potato known, began 
digging to-day, but mine have turned out a third Jarger on 
an avernge, and a third more in yield. Many had the advan- 
tage of better ground than mine, yet mine eclipsed them all.”’ 
GARDENERS ARE STRUCK ON THEM. 
H. W. SayYwELL, Glenville, Ohio, Oct. 13, 189%, writes: 
“The market gardeners around here are struck on the Crown 
Jewel Potatoes, and likewise on the Atlantic Prize Tomato, 
both being the very earliest and finest of all. 
TWO WEEKS AHEAD OF EARLY OHIO. 
H. B. Miner, Mediapolis, Iowa, writes: ‘Crown Jewel 
were dug in seventy-six days from the time of planting. They 
beat the Early Ohio more than double in yield and two weeks 
quicker ingrowth. The ground was not manured at all.” 
L. F. BErNSINGER, Slatington, Pa., writes: ‘I planted 
the Crown Jewel Potato by the side of eight other varieties; 
find it far superior in yield, earliness, size and quality.” 
AND THIRD 
PUMPKIN. 
One pound will plant two hundred to two hundred and 
fifty hills; four to six pounds are required to plant one acre. 
LARGE CHEESE. One of the best for table use; very 
productive; skin orange; flesh yellow andsweet. Pkt., 5e.; 
oz., 10¢e.; 44 1b., 20c.; 1b., 60c. 
CASHAW. Long, yellow crookneck ; splendid for table 
use or feeding stock; flesh yellow, solid, fine grained and 
sweet. Pkt., 5¢.; 0z., 10e ; 14 Ib., 25c.; Ib., 70e.

IMPROVED GREEN STRIPED CASHAW PUMPKIN. 
GREEN STRIPED, or IMPROVED CASHAW. 
This is a great improvement on the well-known Yellow 
Cashaw Pumpkin in very many respects, and those who have 
thus far grown them ignore the Yellow Cashaw eutirely. 
They are much more beautiful in appearance, being a dis- 
tinetmottled green and white striped, as shown in above cut. 
The flesh is a rich yellow color, solid, fine grained, very thick, 
sweet and excellent for pies, and equally good for baking. 
They are very hardy, bugs seldom bother them, can be grown 
among the corn, and yield a much heaviercrop than Yellow 
Cashaw, and better for stock feeding. They are hard to 
beat. Try them. Pkt., 5c.; 0z.,10c.; 14 Ib., 30e.; Ib., $1.00.

TENNESSEE SWEET POTATO PUMPKIN. 
TRUE TENNESSEE SWEET POTATO PUMPKIN. 
Although not entirely new, we think so highly of this sp!en- 
did pie and cooking pumpkin that we had theabove engraving 
made from a photograph, in which their shape is accurately 
shown. They grow to medium size, slightly ribbed; skinis 
a creamy white, lightly striped with green; flesh very thick, 
creamy white, dry and fine grained, keeping well until late 
in the spring; when cooked resembles sweet potatoes, bub 
nruch more delicious in taste. The vines are hardy and _ 
enormously productive. Pkt., 5c¢.; 0z., 10e.; 14 Ib., 30¢.; lb., 
$1.00.
