 thus producing a very heavy crop per acre. It will not only out-yield all others, but is a better keeper. 

 When matured, must excellent, and even better than Mangels m Swede Turnips for feeding stock, and 

 especially fine for feeding cows, as it imparts no unpleasant taste to the milk. It is well to remember 

 that in places where Turnips fail, Kohl jtahl or Turnip Hooted Cabbage, will produce good crops. Un-

I wish to emphasize tbe fact to one and all 

 the readers of this catalogue, that the two book 

 premiums offered on page 2, Terry's "Our 



Farming," and Greiners "How to Make the 



GARDEN PAY," are the two most standard 



•works on the subjects on which they treat, published In this country, and both are used 

 as text books In more than half the agricultural Colleges. Almost 10,000 copies of "How 

 to Make THE Garkkn Pay," have been sold by the book tratle throughout the country 

 the last five years at 82.00 tuch; and UurlnK the last two years nearly 0,000 copies of "OUR 

 Fakmi.ni;." liave been sold at the name price, Neil her of these books must at anytime 

 be compared with the small paper bound essays on Cabbage, ( In Ions, etc, published by 

 half a dozen seedsmen all over the c ount ry for free d 1st ri but ion among •lelr customers. 

 Over p,000 was invested in "Vur Harming" by the publishers before u cujiy left the bindery. 



Text Books 



liny. Ground Cherry. 



Packet, 10 cts. 



IMPROVED GROUND CHERRY.— 



Unequaled for canning, preserving and pies. 

 Dried in sugar as Raisins or Figs, they 

 are unexcelled They are a hand- 

 some yellow color, and will keep 

 till mid winter. They have a 

 strawberry flavor, produce fruit 

 in great abundance, from one to 

 tun inches in diameter. In 

 sections devoid of fruit, many 

 esteem them highly: a great 

 curiosity, and sell well in 

 market. 



A correspondent to the Chi- 

 cago Inter-Ocean writes as fol- 

 lows: "One thing which with 

 me is one of the most important 

 of all the fruits in my cookery. I 

 do not recollect of ever seeing 

 named in the Home, and that is 

 the Ground Cherry (not the wild one.) They grow well on almost 

 any dry soil, are easier raised than the tomato, and are prolific 

 bearers, and oh ! such luscious fruit. For sauce they are ex- 

 cellent, and for pies i know of nothing that can equal them in 

 flavor or taste. They are just splendid dried in sugar, and they 

 will keep, if put in a cool, dry place in the shuck, nearly all 

 winter. I have never seen them named in any seed catalogue, 

 and from what I learn from friends in different parts of the 

 country they seem to be very little known. Is'ooneafter raising 

 them once will ever make a garden again without devoting a 

 small portion to the Ground Cherry. Pkt, 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.

variety that combines the following good qualities, viz: rarliufst, 

 tizt andproliflcnejs, yielding fewer fin perfect pods, and makes 

 less "popps than any other kind, yielding on medium land 

 one hundred bushels per acre ; the vines average three and a 

 half to four feet across, which makes valuable forage for stock ; 

 color of nut red, two to three In a pod, large and rich flavor. 

 An excellent paying crop in the South, as the demand has often 

 exceeded the supply, and growers of the "Peanut" have always 

 found ready sale at remunerative prices for their product, it 

 does not require a rich soil. Pkt., 10 cts.; pu,25cts.; qt.,40cts. 



THE ME LO N

 sidered by the Introducer 

 the most valuable and 

 unique novelty offered

 years. Those who have

 vegetables of value.

 oranges in color, shape 

 and size. The flesh Is 

 snow-white, and makes 

 excellent and handsome 

 preserves. They are 

 delicious fried as egg- 

 plants, and for mangoes 

 are considered superior 

 to peppers. They are 

 hardy, very productive, 

 and keep a long time after being pick
