l WITH EVERY ORDER FOR EITHER GROUND CHERRY OR MELON PEACH. I WILL SEND A NUMBER OF 

 RECIPES FOR COOKING AND PRESERVING THESE NOVELTIES, WRITTEN BY A PRACTICAL HOUSEWIFE. 



35 



IMPROVED GROUND CHERRY. 



— 1 nequaled for canning, preserving 

 and pies. Dried in sugar as Raisin* 

 or tigs they are unexcelled. They 

 are a handsome purple color, and 

 will keep till mid-winter. They 

 have a strawberry flavor, pro- 

 duce fruit in great abundance 

 from one to two inches in dia- 

 meter. In sections devoid of 

 fruit, many esteem them 

 highly; a great curiosity, and 

 seu well in market. 



A correspondent to the Chi- 

 cago Inter-Ocean writes as fol- 

 lows: '• One thing which with 

 me is one of the most important 

 of all the fruits in my cookery. I 

 do not recollect of ever seeing named in the Home, and that is the 

 Ground Cherry (not the wild one. I They grow well on almost 

 any dry soil, are easier raised than the tomato, and are prolific 

 bearers, and oh ! such luscious fruit. For sauce they are ex- 

 cellent, and for pies I know of nothing that can equal them in 

 flavor or taste. They are just splendid dried in mgar, and they 

 will keep, if put in a cool, dry place in the shuck, nearly all 

 winter. I have never seen them named in any seed catalogue, 

 and from what I learn from friends in different parts of the 

 country they seem to be very little known. No one after raising 

 them once will ever make a garden again, without devoting a 

 small portion to the Ground Cherry. Pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 50 cts. 



UPRIGHT OR 

 TREE T O M A T O.- 

 There have been many 

 varieties of so-called Tree , 

 Tomatoes offered in recent 

 years, but I think this more 

 nearly fillsthebillthan any 

 other. Standing up like a 

 tree, without support of any 

 kind, as shown in illustra- 

 tion given herewith, it 

 bears abundantly, fruit be- 

 ingof medium size, smooth 

 in sbape, bright red in color, 

 and fine flavor ; a valuable 

 and curious acquisition ; 

 very ornamental as well as 

 useful. Sure to excite re- 

 mark in any garden. Pkt., 

 15 cents: 2 Pkts.. 25 cents. 



CAPE GOOSEBERRY\-At the solicitation of the in- 

 troducer of Cape Gooseberry, I gave it a notice last vear. I 

 find it turned out to be nothing but a poor strain ofGround 

 Cherry, consequently do not offer it this year. All who planted 

 it with unsatisfactory results, will be entitled to receive, if they 

 | mention it when ordering, a packet of mv Improved Ground 

 Cherry free. I regret exceedingly that I should have recom- 

 mended any thing that did not give satisfaction. I do not 

 claim to be perfect, and mistakes in such a large business will 

 sometimes occur : but all can rest assured that when I find I am 

 In error, I will rectify it as soon as it is possible for me to do so. 



IMPROVED "GROUND PEA" OR PEANUT.-A 



variety that combines the following fiood qualities, viz: (artinr.ss, 

 size arid prof/rtcness, yielding fewer Lnperfect pods, and makes 

 less"popps" than any other kind, yielding on medium land 

 one hundred bushels per acre; the vines average three and a 

 half to four feet acrose, which makes valuable forage for st,.ck 

 color of nut red, two to three in a pod, large and rich flavor 

 An excellent paying crop in the South, as the demand has often 

 exceeded the supply, and grow era of the ■• Peanut" have always 

 found ready sale at remunerative prices for their product, it 

 does not require a rich soil. Pkt.. 15 cts.: pt,, 25 cts.; qt.. 40 cts. 



T II E M E L O N 

 PEACH. -This is con- 

 sidered by the introducer 

 the most valuable and 

 unique novelty offered 

 to the public in many 

 years. Those who nave 

 tried them, consider 

 they are interesting 

 veget nb 1 es of value. 

 They grow on V I tics 

 same as melons, arc a 

 beautiful golden yellow, 



almost resembling 



oranges in color. Bhape 

 and size. The flesh is 

 snow-white, and makes 

 excellent and handsome 



S re scry fs. They arc 

 eliclous fried as egg- 

 plants, and for mangoes 

 arc considered superior 

 to peppers. The] arc 

 hardy, very productive, 

 and keep a long time after being; picked. Pkt.. vvts . sk-ts.
