 goose egg, or something like the Chemung, but perfectly 

 solid, which the Chemung is not. Color maroon or pur- 

 ple. A perfect ripener. A distinct strain, as it varies 

 from 2 to 3 cells, all other Tomatoes except the Two-celled 

 Cross and the Currant varieties having from 5 to 7 cells.

 Fruit Stand Sales, because of its attractive and very dis- 

 tinct appearance. Ripening in about 110 days. Per pkt.

 approached by the Three-celled Cross, which is not so 

 curious as this very distinct Tomato ; is large as a big 

 goose egg and solid as an apple ; free from cracks, green 

 core or blemishes. Color like Acme. Foliage very small 

 and silvery, but a strong vine. An admirable sort for 

 forcing under glass or for early sales at Fruit Stands, its 

 novelty of shape, size, coloring speaking its own praise. 

 Ripening in about 115 days. Per pkt. 20 cts. 



Physalis Francheti.

 per J oz. ; $1.50 per oz. 



THE NEW POTATO, 

 Carman, No. 3. 



This splendid new Potato is without 

 an exception the greatest yielder ever 

 introduced. It may fairly be claimed 

 that it does not yield any small tubers 

 at all. It bears its tubers very close 

 to the plant, a single turn of the fork 

 turning out every Potato. It is of the 

 largest size and of the shapeliest form. 

 It is a perfect keeper; that is, it will 



not sprout up to planting time, unless kept in a warm place. Both skin and flesh are of extreme whiteness. Eyes 



few and shallow. Late in ripening. Peck $1.25 ; bus. $4.00 ; bbl. $8.00.

GRAY WINTER or TURF OATS. 



The great value of these oats is only just beginning to be 

 appreciated in other parts of the country, although they 

 have been for the past ten or fifteen years the principal 

 variety grown in Virginia. Their growth has gradually 

 extended from Virginia to Maryland and Delaware, aud 

 since then its merits have become generally known all over 

 the United States. In the past two or three .years they 

 have been planted in several northern and western states, 

 where they have given the most satisfactory results. 



Fall Seeding. They should be sown broadcast, at 

 the rate of about li bushels per acre, in August or Sep- 



tember ; or further south can be sown as late as the 20th of 

 October. They make a good growth before winter sets in. 

 and furnish excellent grazing during the late fall and early 

 spring, and during open spells in the winter, without 

 injury to the grain crop afterwards. 



Spring Seeding. These oats are also largely used 

 for spring seeding, aud if put in before April 1st will make 

 a much larger yield than the spring oats, and in the south 

 they are considered a much surer crop for spring seeding. 



Price, per bushel, perexpressor freight, $1.50 ; per peck, 

 60 cts.; per 3 lbs., postpaid, 60 cts.; 1 lb., postpaid, 25 cts.
