purity and vitality among the best gardeners in this country. They are grown with the 
utmost care from superior stock seed, gathered from the choicest specimens, and therefore 
represent the best that modern practice and modern science can produce. The list of 
varieties we offer contains both standard sorts and the best of the new ones. The cultural 
directions given in this book are for growing vegetables in the latitude of Philadelphia and 
allowance should be made for other sections. The varieties marked with a star (4%) have
