Second Crop Southern 

 Grown Seed Potatoes. 



SINCE we have been advertising the Sec- 

 ond Crop Seed we often have been 

 asked what it signified, and for the bene- 

 fit of those who do not seem to know we will 

 state that they are the product of the first 

 planting in the spring, planted again as soon 

 as dug and the result from that planting 

 stored away in the fall for next season's use. 



The advantage derived from second seed over 

 first crop is that they do not sprout or shrivel 

 or lose any of their vigor through the winter, 

 having been checked by frost before matur- 

 ity ; they lie dormant, ready to grow vigor- 

 ously when planted. They rarely send up 

 more than one sprout ; this may divide into 

 several branches. The consequence is all the 

 growth goes into the tubers, which grow to 

 full marketable size 12 to 15 days earlier than 

 ordinary seed. 



The results from the planting of this seed 

 have been so remarkable that our sales in 

 consequence have grown much beyond our 

 expectations. 



The following varieties are grown from first 

 crop Northern stock : 



CROWN JEWEL, — This is a seedling of 

 the Early Ohio. Skin white, with a flesh 

 tint ; meat white and floury, cooking evenly 

 through. A very early bearer, and its keep- 

 ing qualities are equal to the best. Peck,

EARLY ROSE.— Peck, 50c. Bushel, 

 $1.50. Barrel, $3.50.

 crops of handsome, smooth tubers. Peck,

 ket prices. 



GOOD SEED OATS. — Unnamed varieties.

 WINTER TURF OATS. 



Perfectly hardy in the Southern and Middle 

 States, standing the winter nearly as well as 

 wheat. Yields, on good land, from 50 to 70 

 bushels to the acre, of fine, heavy grain, 

 weighing from 30 to 40 pounds to the meas- 

 ured bushel. Furnishes excellent fall, winter 

 and early spring grazing, without injury to 

 the grain crop. 'Write for prices 1st of 

 August. 



SEED BUCKWHEAT. 



JAPANESE.— The best sort. The plants 

 are large and vigorous, maturing their seed 

 early, and resisting drought and blight re- 

 markably well, while the grain is much larger 

 and at the same time has a thinner hull than 

 the common or the Silver Hull. Owing to its 

 branching character, only one-half the seed 

 is required per acre, while the straw is much 

 stiffer and stands up better. We recommend 

 this especially for well-drained or sandy 

 land, and the dry climate of the Western 

 plains. $1.40 per Bus. 10 Bus., $1.30 

 per Bus.

MANSHURY SPRING BARLEY. —

 mend it. By Express or Freight— Peck,

NEW BEARDLESS SPRING BAR- 

 LEY.— Sow as soon as frost is out of the 

 ground, the earlier the better. Being beard- 

 less, it handles as easy as oats, and makes a 

 stronger feed. By Express or Freight—
