This Popular Magazine, formerly published as a 

 Quarterly, is now published iis a Monthly, and will 

 appear about the tirst of every mouth. 



As a special inducement we offer to every subscriber, 

 as ;i premium, the choice of one packet of anyone of 

 the following seeds, with directions for culture : 



Wild Garden Seeds, a packet containing a mixture 

 of upward of one hundred varieties Flower Seeds, suf- 

 ficient for a square rod of ground. 



and we hope bv offernm them among our premiums to 

 introduce these lloral ^cnis to many of bur readers. 



May-Flower Tomato. A new variety, now offered 

 for the first time. The great excellence of this seed- 

 ling lias been indorsed by t lie Massachusetts Horticult- 

 ural Society, in awarding il the lirst prize for the best 

 new Tomato. 



Bliss's American Jiacer Pea. A quarter-pint packet. 

 We, have grown this new l'ea for several years on our 

 experimental grounds, and consider it one of the ear- 

 liest, most productive, aud best Peas known. Our 

 stock of seed is as yet too limited to enable us to offer 

 It for sale, yet we are. so strongly convinced of its 

 superior value that we offer it as a premium— the only 

 way in which it can be obtained— to our subscribers, 

 trusting that il will prove as valuable an addition to 

 the list of new vegetables as the American Wonder 

 Pea ottered by us last season. 



Any subscriber who sends, with his own, an addi- 

 tional subscription— not necessarily from the same 

 post-o flice— may select for himself two premium pack- 

 ages, and the entire set of four kinds when two addi- 

 tional subscriptions are sent.

The immense demand which has sprung up for this unexcelled new (strawberry, ai 



public should not be deceived by spurious plants, which I have good 

 name, havo induced me to devote my propagating lields to the growing of this variety exclusively. I shall 

 therefore be able to warrant every plant sent out by mc to bo true to name. 



It is safe to assert that no Strawberry introduced within several years has received as many favorable 

 comments from prominent fruit-growers and dealers, and that no other kind combines as many desirable 

 qualities. For family use as well as for market it stands at the head of the list, and lest my description of it 

 might be considered as actuated by self-interest, I give hero the points of excellence as stated and signed by 

 the best-informed and leading fruit-growers who examined my fields during the bearing season : 



AS COMPARED WITH WILSON'S ALBANY. 



7. It averages one and a half times the size. 

 2. It is of much better flavor. 



3. It is far more attractive with its bright scarlet color, and finer in appearance. 

 4. The plant is double the size and far more vigorous. 

 5. It carries the fruit higher from the ground. 

 6, The yield, as it appears, is one-half more. 

 7. In firmness it fully equals the Wilson. 



Those desiring additional informal ion about the Manchester 

 died free to all applicants. 



Potted Plants will bo ready for delivery about the middle of J 

 sen ; $6.50 per hundred ; $40.00 per thousand, safely packed to go
