New Sunflower, 



"Oscar Wilde.' 



The famous Newport Corsage Sunflower. An entirely 

 stinct variety, which originated with a Newport florist. 



During last season at this noted watering place, hundreds 

 were worn daily hy the ladies as corsage flowers. The 

 plant is dwarf and pyramidal in form, flowers are small 

 with jet black center, surrounded with an overlapping 

 row of broad, deep, golden yellow petals, ami ar<- pro- 

 duced in the greatest abundance from June until killed 

 by frost. Its small, compact growth ami great profusion 

 of bloom make it a most desirable bedding plant, either 

 as a single specimen or in masses. Packets of 25 seeds 

 each, 25 cents.

A NEW EARLY SWEET POTATO. 



EARLY GOLDEN. 



This variety originated in Virginia a few years since, 

 with an old cultivator of the Sweet Potato. It is a sport 

 of the old Early Red, but said to be far superior 

 to that variety in carliness, productiveness, color, and 



quality. Slips planted Mav lmh produ 1 tubers large 



enough for the market July 25th. On account of its 

 early maturity, it is believed to be better adapted for 

 cultivation in the Northern States than any other variety. 

 In shape they are somewhat shorter than the ordinary 

 varieties, of a golden yellow color, cook very dry, and 



are of superior flavor. Another valuabl iisideration 



in favor of this varietvis that they will grow on quite 

 ordinary soil, with biit a slight coat of manure, and 

 yielded a large crop the past season upon land that would 



three to five pounds each. It is also an excellent keeper 

 From what we can learn from those' w ho have tested 

 this variety, we think it will prove the most valuabie in 

 cultivation. 



We first offered this variety in spring of lssO, and have 



Price of slips, with directions for planting, by mail,
