 working of all crops like Beans, Corn, Melons, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, and

 the winter and catching and holding the fertility of the soil, which would 

 otherwise be lost by leaching or other causes. We offer the finest quality re- 

 cleaned seed at 12 cts. per lb. (20 cts. per lb. by mail). For larger quantities
