FAUST'S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1892. 



Faust's Prize Head 

 Late Flat Dutch 

 Cabbage. 



This fine Cabbage has been pro- 

 nounced by all who have seen it to be 

 the finest strain of Late Flat Dutch Cab- 

 bage in the world. It is a low-growing 

 variety ; the large, bluish-green heads 

 are round, very solid, broad and flat on 

 top, of the very finest quality. It is a 

 superb variety for fall use and is the 

 best for late keeping. It is the result 

 of years of the most careful selection, 

 and is sought after in preference to 

 other late sorts by large growers of cab- 

 bages. It never fails to make a perfect, 

 solid head and is most uniform in size 

 and color. Our seed has been grown 

 from large and carefully selected heads, 

 and we confidently recommend it as 

 being the finest strain ever introduced. 

 Perpkt., lo cts.; oz., 3octs.; Xlh., $i.oo; 

 lb., I3-50. 



FAUST'S 



IMPROVED 



SLICER. 



This new Slicer is designed to 

 slice turnips, radishes, potatoes, 

 etc., which it will do in surpris- 

 ingly quick time. The screw is 

 inserted in the top of the vege- 

 table in the centre and by simply 

 turning the handle, it slices evenly 

 and rapidly in the nicest manner ; 

 then, by simply cutting down the veg- 

 etable with a knife, each slice comes 

 off separately. A most useful article 

 for preparing vegetables for the table 

 in a raw or cooked state. The Germans 

 buy these slicers largely for cutting 

 radishes and turnips sliced raw and 

 prepared with Annegar. Full direc- 

 tions packed with Slicer in neat paste- 

 board box. These tools are made 

 from best steel, sharpened ready for 

 immediate use, and are all hand-made 

 with the best workmanship. Ever}' 

 household should have one of these 

 labor-saving little gems. Price, 40 cts., 

 each, 2 for 75 cts. , by mail postpaid. 



DWARF CHAMPION TOMATO. 



This fine new tomato is entirelj' distinct and its habit of growth 

 is most peculiar, for not only is it dwarf and compact, but the stems being 

 thick, stiff and short-jointed, it is actually self-supporting when laden 

 with fruit ; no other variety possesses this valuable characteristic. The 

 foliage is very dark green, thick and corrugated- and differing in form 

 from that of any other sort. Unsurpassed iri productiveness, and its close, 

 upright growth enables it to be planted nearer together than any other 

 sort, therefore yieldiug more to the acre. The fruit in forni and color 

 closely resembles the well-known Acme, and is always smooth and sym- 

 metrical in form. Of medium size, ver\' attractive in appearance ; 

 the skin is tough and the flesh solid and of the finest quality. 

 Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; ^ lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25. 



Abram D. Shaver, Gold Hill, N. C, Nov. 13, 1891, writes : 

 — The Faust's Earliest of All Cabbage seed you sent me last

 expecting me to make the orders for them; they are a first-class
