The following kinds we wish to call attention to as desirable:— p er pkt 



ASPARAGUS, Moore's Premium. This variety is now well known in Boston 



and vicinity as the largest and finest in every respect, without exception 

 in cultivate. Capt. Moore has taken first prizes for his celebrated 

 Asparagus every season for the past ten years, at the Exhibition of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society; and, on the second Saturday in 

 June, exhib.ted a bunch of twelve stalks, weighing three pounds "five 

 ounces. On the same day there was exhibited a bunch of Conoyer's 

 Colossal, from New \ork, of eighteen stalks, weighing three pounds 

 eight ounces (only three ounces more), and having six more stalks in 

 bunch, showing the superiority of Moore's. Per oz., 25 cts. $2.00 per lb 

 BEET, Hatch's Early Extra Blood-Turnip. This is an improved variety' 

 both in carhness, smoothness, and fine quality for table-use, and is a 

 avonte with the growers of fine early vegetables for the Boston market.

New Chilian (for decorative purposes). This striking novelty is specially 



adapted for bedding-purposes, the foliage presenting a variety of color 

 lrom bright orange to purplish-crimson \

ot medium size, rich color, and fine flavor. The foliage is shining black

BEANS, New White-Seeded Dwarf Wax. A most excellent new variety hiehly 

 esteemed for its white, tender, succulent pods. The seeds are white as

 erence over the black seeded sorts. Very prolific, the vines bein" liter- 

 erally covered with pods. Per qt, 60 cts °.
