 S better than Mangels or Swede Turnips for feeding stock, and especiallv fine 

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

I WITH EVERY ORDER FOR EITHER GROUND CHERRY OR MELON PEACH. I WILL SEND A NUMBER OF 

 EL, RECIPES FOR COOKING AND PRESERVING THESE NOVELTIES, WRITTEN BY A PRACTICAL HOUSEWIFE,

IMPROVED GROUND CHERRY. 



—I nequaled for canning, preserving 

 and pies. Dried in sugar as Raisins 

 or figs they are unexcelled. They 

 area handsome purple color and 

 will keep till mia-winter. They 

 have a strawberry flavor, pro- 

 duce fruit in great abundance, 

 from one to two inches in dia- 

 meter. 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 cookerv. I 

 do not recollect of ever seeing named in the Home, arid 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 I 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 thev 

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

 w inter. 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 know-n. No one after raising 

 them once will ever make a garden again, without devoting a 

 small portion to the Ground Cherry. Pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 50 cts. 



UPRIGHT OR 

 TREE TOMATO.- 

 There have been many 

 varieties of so-called Tree 

 Tomatoes offered in recent 

 years, but I think this more 

 nearly fills the bill than any 

 other. Standing up like a 

 tree, without support of any 

 kind, as shown in illustra- 

 tion given herewith,, it 

 bears abundantly, fruit be- 

 ing of medium size, smooth 

 in shape, bright red in color, 

 and fine flavor : a valuable 

 and curious acquisition ; 

 very ornamental as well as 

 useful. Sure to excite re- 

 mark in any garden. Pkt., 

 15 cents: 2 Pkts.. 25 cents.

IMPROVED "GROUND PEA" OR PEANUT.— A 



varietv that combines the following good qualities, viz: e arlineu, 

 size and prolijlcnes*. yielding fewer imperfect pods, and makes 

 less"popps" than anv 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 paving crop in the South, as the demand has often 

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

 found readv sale at remunerative prices for their product. It 

 does not require a rich soiL Pkt.. 15 cts.: pu. 25 cts.; qt.. 40 cts. 



THE MELON 

 PEACH.— This is con- 



I sidered by the introducer 

 the most valuable and 

 unique novelty offered 

 to the public In many 

 years. Those who have 

 tried them, consider 



I they are interesting 



I vegetables of value. 

 They grow on vines 

 same as melons, are a 



' beautiful golden yellow, 

 almost resembling 

 oranges in color, shape 



I 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 



I to peppers. They are 

 hardy, very productive, 

 and keep a long time after being picked
