 extensively by the largest planters. In the South it is grown in enormous quanti-

 growing on smaller areas. In some respects it excells all other varieties; there is 

 none that bears so heavy a crop, and none which presents a more salable appear- 

 ance after long shipping. Ready for picking in 45 days from planting. (See specialties

 suDstance, and the plants bear more continuously than ever. (See specialties page 2)
